FIU at Charlotte 11/17/18 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Florida Intl Golden Panthers (7 - 3, 5 - 1 CONF) are on the road for what should be a competitive game against the Charlotte 49ers (4 - 6, 3 - 3 CONF). Charlotte will be playing the role of host in this game at the McColl-Richardson Field in Charlotte, NC. Florida Intl is coming off of two-straight losses while Florida Intl scored a nice win over UTSA last week by rolling to a 45 - 7 victory. Florida Intl will be slightly favored in this matchup.

Florida Intl has been scoring points in bunches so far this season. Florida Intl is averaging 35 PPG on offense this year while racking up 413 total yards from scrimmage per game. The play of QB James Morgan (2,282 yards, 24 TD. 5 INT) has been a ton of fun to watch and he is our player to highlight in this matchup. If Morgan gets it going early, Charlotte could be sent packing by halftime. Charlotte is scoring just 20 PPG on offense this season while surrendering 25 PPG to opposing teams on defense. The 49ers have struggled all season long to find consistency with the ball in their hands and we don't see that changing in this matchup. Charlotte has struggled to run the ball and that takes away from their passing game in a big way. Charlotte is led by QB Chris Reynolds (1,181 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT).
