Florida Atlantic Owls

The Owls won 14 of the 18 games they were favored in during 2025-26 and 2 of the 13 they were not. Against the spread the gap closed: 10 covers as favorites, 7 as underdogs.

Which side of the price

The first thing to check on a Florida Atlantic game is whether the Owls are laying points. Favored, they went 14-4, and one unit on each of those 18 moneylines came back 1.9 units ahead; 57 Division I teams made more backing their favorites. Getting points, they went 2-11, and the 13 underdog moneylines lost 8.48 units.

The two underdog wins were a 76-71 result at UAB at +154 and a 63-59 conference tournament win over Temple. The other eleven went the other way.

Covers, all season

Over 33 games FAU went 18-15 and covered 17 of the 31 that carried a spread, 54.8%. At home the cover count was 8 of 13, 61.5%, a rate only 67 Division I teams beat. On the road it fell to 6 of 13, alongside a 4-9 straight-up record in road games.

December is the month to remember: five covers in five lined games, including spread wins in losses at Saint Mary’s (+13.5) and UCF (+8.5). February was the reverse, a 2-5 month and 4.36 units lost.

One unit, every game

A unit on the Owls in all 31 priced games finished 6.58 units down. Road games carried almost all of it: 6.02 lost away, 0.46 at home. The shortest price they lost at came on 1 February, a 76-75 home defeat to East Carolina at -625.

Temple, three times

Temple was the one opponent met three times, and FAU won all three, covering twice and returning 2.12 units.

The total

Seventeen overs, 14 unders in 31 games with a total: no lean worth carrying into a game.
