<\/a><\/p>\nThe entire Owls squad can call in sick for their next game against No. 11 Auburn Saturday and the result will most likely be just the same \u2013 a win for the massive favorite Tigers. But in this article, we\u2019re not solely concerned with straight-up wins. We\u2019re looking at the impressive ability of the Owls to cover the spread despite a season full of losses.<\/p>\n
Florida Atlantic\u2019s record is littered with defeats so far this season but it has shown that it can bounce back, at least ATS-wise. The Owls are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a loss.<\/p>\n
In their last game, they dropped a slim 24-23 decision against Marshall.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find many schools that have as clean a record across the board in SU and ATS standings as the Tigers have these days. Here\u2019s a summary of their feats as of Week 8: 7-0 SU, 7-0 ATS, 4-0 ATS at home, 3-0 ATS on the road, 5-0 ATS as favorites, and 2-0 ATS as underdogs.\u00a0[sc:NCAA240banner ]<\/p>\n Judging by those records, plus the Gamecocks pathetic 1-5 ATS mark in their last six outings, Missouri is sounding like a good investment in terms of betting.<\/p>\n Missouri defeated their last two opponents, Georgia and Florida, both top 25 teams, by an average margin of 17 points. The Tigers hope to bundle No. 21 South Carolina together with the Bulldogs and Gators in their list of Top 25 victims.<\/p>\n Lurking deep down in the standings of the AAC are the struggling Owls who are 1-6 SU at this point in the season. They somehow managed to save some face when they gave coach Matt Rhule his first career win after shutting down the Army last week, 33-14.<\/p>\n While winning straight up is an alien concept to Rhule\u2019s squad, overcoming the spread as underdogs has been a habit this season for Temple.<\/p>\n The Owls are 11-point dogs against Southern Methodist \u2013 a familiar position for Temple, and perhaps a favorable one for underdog bettors. Temple is 4-1 ATS in its last five games as underdogs.<\/p>\n Big 12\u2019s leader of the pack take their undefeated record to Memorial Stadium in Oklahoma Saturday to face fellow Top 25 team, the Sooners.<\/p>\n No. 10 Texas Tech is riding the hot passing game provided by quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Davis Webb. Both players are the main catalysts of the second ranked passing offense in the FBS, combining for 2,915 passing yards.<\/p>\n The Red Raiders have yet to fail to cover on the road this season. They are 3-0 ATS away from Lubbock. An Oklahoma trend reinforces the probability of another ATS win for Texas Tech, as the Sooners are 0-3 ATS in their last three games.<\/p>\n Nipping at the heels of the Texas Tech Raiders at the top of the Big 12 standings are the Baylor Bears who are 6-0 SU overall in their last six games.<\/p>\n Their next game against the flightless Jayhawks is almost a sure thing for Baylor. Kansas has lost its last three games and its defensive unit poses very little resistance to counter the soul-crushing offense of the Bears. Baylor owns the nation\u2019s best offense, pounding opponents with 64.7 points per game.<\/p>\n The last to attend the Bears\u2019 scoring clinic were the Cyclones, who went home shell-shocked\u00a0after being handily beaten by Baylor, 71-7.<\/p>\n Now for the not so obvious part: Baylor isn\u2019t content to just beat their opponents \u2014 they beat them senselessly. As favorites, they are 5-1 ATS this season. If we include a couple of their games last season, their record becomes 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as favorites.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n Get lines and odds for these games and more when you bet College Football<\/a> at Top Bet Sportsbook.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n3.
