Florida Atlantic vs UTSA Odds
Despite their recent road struggles, the Owls open as heavy double-digit favorites. UTSA’s home record (2-10) is a major factor in this line, though the Convocation Center energy could be different for “Student Appreciation Night.” For live updates, track the latest college basketball odds.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| Florida Atlantic | -875 | -13.5 (-108) | O 157.5 (-114) |
| UTSA | +575 | +13.5 (-112) | U 157.5 (-107) |
Florida Atlantic Betting Form
FAU enters this game following a narrow 83-81 overtime loss to South Florida. Devin Vanterpool has been the engine for the Owls, dropping 26 points in his last outing. The Florida Atlantic Owls stats and results show a team that ranks 89th nationally in scoring (81.0 PPG) and excels on the boards, ranking 51st in rebounds per game.
The Florida Atlantic injury report lists Kanaan Carlyle (calf) and Maxim Logue (foot) as questionable. Guard Zion Sampaio is out for the season. If Carlyle remains out, expect Josiah Parker to see increased usage after his recent double-double performance (13 points, 10 rebounds).
UTSA Betting Form
UTSA is finally back in the win column after defeating Charlotte 88-79. The UTSA schedule and stats reflect a team that has struggled defensively but can put up points in bunches when Jamir Simpson (16.1 PPG) finds his rhythm.
The UTSA injury report is significant: Dorian Hayes and Austin Nunez are questionable, while Pierce Spencer and Macaleab Rich are out for the season. The Roadrunners’ depth will be tested, but the recent emergence of Brent Moss (16 points vs. Charlotte) gives them a secondary scoring threat that was missing during their mid-season slump.
Florida Atlantic vs UTSA Matchup Breakdown
This game is a battle of FAU’s offensive efficiency against UTSA’s high-volume shot-taking. Florida Atlantic shoots 46.3% from the field, while UTSA’s defense allows opponents to shoot 44.9%. The Owls’ advantage in rebounding (+6.0 margin over the Roadrunners) should limit UTSA to one shot per possession, a critical factor for an underdog that shoots just 39.9% as a team.
On the perimeter, Devin Vanterpool’s 2.2 triples per game will challenge a UTSA defense that ranks 336th in points allowed. However, if UTSA can replicate their 42.4% three-point shooting from the Charlotte game, they could keep this much closer than the 13.5-point spread suggests.
Florida Atlantic vs UTSA Predictions and Best Bets
While FAU is the superior team on paper, a 13.5-point spread is a lot to ask of a team that hasn’t won a road game in nearly a month. UTSA is playing with newfound confidence and will have a loud home crowd behind them for Student Appreciation Night. The Owls should win, but the Roadrunners are positioned to cover.
Regarding the total, 157.5 is one of the highest lines on tonight’s slate. Both teams combine for just 150.6 points per game, and with FAU trending toward the “Under” in recent weeks (hitting in 8 of their last 12), the play here is on a lower-scoring affair than the oddsmakers anticipate.
Best Bet: UTSA +13.5 (-112).
