FIU vs Middle Tennessee College Football Betting Preview
Saturday's FIU vs. Middle Tennessee game fits a historically profitable betting system from our Bet Labs database.
Called "Short Road Dogs," this is a college football system that focuses on underdogs playing away from home in the regular season when the moneyline falls in a competitive range that signals a realistic chance to win outright.
These teams are visitors facing manageable matchups where the closing total is between 41 and 71, suggesting balanced scoring potential rather than extreme results.
Line movement on the total that stays within a narrow window from open to close reflects market stability and avoids heavy adjustments that could skew value.
By isolating games where the underdog is not severely overmatched but still priced attractively, the system captures overlooked spots where road teams can pull off wins more often than the odds imply, creating steady long-term value on the moneyline.
