The UAB Blazers are coming off of an outright road upset over UTEP on Halloween, and they appear to have a class edge here over a Florida Atlanta Owls team that has struggled outside of the Sun Belt Conference.
The Owls are 2-5 both straight up and against the spread, but both of their covers came in Sun Belt play and they are 0-3 ATS out of conference. Granted, losses at South Carolina and Nebraska are certainly forgivable, but their other non-conference loss was an outright home defeat to Wyoming as five-point favorites in a game where they allowed the offensively inept Cowboys to score 30 points.
FAU can obviously make any offense look good, and they are especially atrocious against the run, allowing a horrific 224.7 rushing yards per game on a generous 6.0 yards per carry. That makes for a nightmarish matchup here vs. a run-oriented UAB offense.
The Blazers are averaging 24.8 points per game, but they can easily surpass that here with this drop in class. Most importantly, their offense is averaging 230.0 rushing yards per game on 6.0 yards per carry vs. tougher competition than the Owls, and we just do not see how the FAU can stop them here.
Look for UAB to consistently gobble up huge chunks of yardage on the ground here en route to a safe double-digit victory.
