Auburn Tigers vs Florida Atlantic Owls Point Spread Picks

The Florida Atlantic Owls aren't going to leave here feeling good. They will get what they came for, a big payday. But on the field they are heavily over-matched. Auburn has made the quantum leap from the SEC basement to SEC contender this season. The Tigers offense is becoming electric with 107 points in their last two games, and typically good teams which were poor a year ago don't let up after a big win. Ranked 11th in the nation, Auburn wants to make a statement to climb into the Top 10. The numbers on offense are growing, and the Owls just don't have the depth or talent to stay remotely close here. Play on Auburn.

The Florida Atlantic Owls are here for a payday and not much else. They have been brutalized in the early going, outscored 85-3 through two games. This one won't be any closer. This is a team that will struggle in a weak conference, let alone against a major BCS opponent. Auburn's offense was supposed to take a step back this year with the departure of Cam Newton, but at 35.7 ppg that has not been the case. Barrett Trotter has already thrown six TD passes and won't find much resistance here. The Owls have never done well as a big road dog where they are 4-18 ATS in their last 22 taking +10.5 or more. They have also failed to cover each of their last eight road games. Under Howard Schnellenberger, FAU is just 12-23 ATS in non-conference games. Auburn has bounced back nicely recently after an ATS loss as they have now followed with six straight ATS wins. This one should get ugly. Lay the points.
