Florida International Panthers 2026 Team Preview (Ep. 3144)

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the Florida International Panthers 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Cannabis Capper (@CannabisCapper) break down the 2026 Florida International Panthers roster and what to expect in the C-USA this season. Can Willie Simmons build on a 7-6 debut and keep a head coaching career that has never produced a losing season rolling in Miami? Is Appalachian State transfer J.J. Kohl, who threw 12 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions in 6 starts, the best quarterback in Conference USA outside of Liberty? And does a defense that finished 110th in total defense have enough new blood to finally hold up in C-USA play? How much better can Nick Coleman's offense get after ranking 58th in total offense a year ago? Can returning wideout Kyle McNeal and a defense led by linebackers Kenton Simmons and Josiah Taylor plus DB Shamir Sterlin carry a roster that brings back only 43% of its production? What kind of gameday atmosphere awaits at Pitbull Stadium, the newly branded home once known as Riccardo Silva Stadium in the heart of the 305? Which games on a schedule that opens against South Florida and runs through the Shula Bowl with FAU, Middle Tennessee, Liberty and Sam Houston will decide FIU's season? And where's the betting value on the Florida International Panthers win total, Conference USA odds and College Football Playoff chances?
