Betting Trends for vs
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs were exposed in their recent game, but that could be accredited to them playing a backup QB as J’mar Smith was suspended which will once again be the case for this game. Aaron Allen was unable to control the offense like Smith, but while the Bulldogs have confidence in the freshman, he left their latest game with an injury which leaves his status in question. UAB has struggled on the offensive side of the ball this season, but they have one of the better defenses in college football as they rank 16th in points allowed. I expect the Blazers to control this game with their defense and ground game, and they will earn their 8th win of the season. Final Score Prediction, UAB Blazers win and cover ATS 27-20.
