Rice has a winning road record anchored by one of the best defenses in the American Athletic Conference. The Owls are second in points given up (67.6 per game) and in shooting allowed (.399). Two road games ago, they were an underdog at Tulsa but won, 70-64. They also won at Arkansas State, 75-67, as a +8.5 dog. Florida Atlantic prefers to run but they have a losing conference mark with a soft defense, allowing the second-most points (77.7 per game), plus rank 11th in the 13-team conference in shooting allowed (44%) and last in 3-point defense (.382). Florida Atlantic has lost two straight and four of their last six after falling at Tulane, 80-65, as a favorite. Florida Atlantic is on a 5-10-1 ATS run. Play Rice.
