No team is favorite to win, but some say the Rockets are superior to Bowl Record. The FIU Panthers have disadvantages in offense. The Panthers had a better record in the regular season and the defense has done a good job in most of the games.
Florida International: Best record.
The Golden Panthers closed the regular season with eight wins and four losses. The team was in third place in the conference with 6-2 in the EAST Division of the C-USA Conference. The Panthers’ record in the Bowl is negative, just one win in three 1-2 appearances. The Panthers are scoring an average of 34.6 points per game, 36.5 rushes, 170.8 rush yards and up to 19.4 complete passes per game. The defense allows an average of 24.7 points per game.
The bad news for the Panthers is that the running back Shawandarrius Phillips will not be available for the bowl because of problems related to an arrest less than a week ago on charges of domestic violence.
