The Panthers are the FBS team and playing at home, but the potent Wildcats of the FCS cannot be taken lightly.MIAMI, Florida -- Three things you need to know about Bethune-Cookman’s visit to FIU on Saturday night for a football game at 6:
• Bethune’s bringing “The Pride,” the 325-member Marching Wildcats band.
• Bethune comes in ranked No. 23 nationally in the Football Championship Division and has won two of the past three Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference titles.
• Bethune definitely can beat FIU.
The people who make their living betting on games certainly think so. FIU has been a 2 1/2-to-3-point underdog since about two hours after they opened as a favorite. Rarer than an open parking spot the first week of classes is the Football Bowl Subdivision team that’s an underdog to an FCS team.
And at home.
Asked if that bothered him, FIU sophomore running back Lamarq Caldwell said, “It does because we’re all competitors. But at the end of the day, we’ve just got to play good football.”
