Army vs. UAB Pick
Spread Pick for Army vs. UAB
- Army Black Knights -7 (5 units)
The Army Black Knights are always an interesting team with the triple option offense that consists mostly of running plays. Army posted a stunning upset win against Kansas State last month. They were competitive in an overtime loss against a 5-0 North Texas squad a few weeks ago. The UAB Blazers have a potent offense, but the defense? Horrendous. The Blazers have dropped two of their past three games due to the shaky defense.
Furthermore, as mentioned, Army runs in a majority of its plays and is a daunting task to defend. This has a huge impact on the outcome of this game. The Blazers' defense ranks near the bottom in most categories. The biggest weak spot is the rush defense, squandering an average of 259 yards per game, ranking them at 112th in the country. Also, the UAB offense passes a ton, and the Black Knights' pass defense is decent, conceding an average of 206 yards per game. Take the points with Army.
Over/under Pick for Army vs UAB.
- Over 58 (5 units)
I expect a barrage of scoring in this one. Army has generated offense in each game except for the loss to East Carolina. They have scored 27 or more points in three of four games this season. The Blazers' defense will cost them games this season. The Blazers' defense surrendered 42 points against Alabama State and 28 against Akron.
In addition, these squads have a quick offense, especially Army, which is 12th in plays per game. UAB is piling on the points. They also have a very quick offense and can generate quick scoring drives. UAB QB Kitna exposed Tennessee last week for 365 passing yards, and I expect another dominating effort. The over is a convincing 5-1 in the Blazers' past six games.
