UAB Rebounds in First Conference Win
The UAB Blazers are hoping to avoid a third straight defeat. UAB has a tough schedule and has won just two games on the season due to poor defense. The first win was against Alabama State of the FCS, and the other was against Akron. UAB was hit with a road loss against Tennessee a few weeks ago. Next, the Blazers were dealt a 31-13 home loss by Army in a clash that had the Blazers as 6.5-point dogs. The Blazers have covered the spread in just two of five games.
Jalen Kitna has been a positive this season. The senior QB registered 259 passing yards in the defeat last week. He has recorded 259 or more yards in all but one performance and has posted 1515 passing yards and a 9:4 TD to INT ratio. Javon Jackson is having a strong year on the ground. The senior RB issued 166 yards back in the opener and has 369 yards on an average of 5.9 yards per carry.

UAB vs. FAU Pick
Spread Pick for UAB vs. FAU
- FAU Owls -4.5 (5 units)
The UAB Blazers are stumbling. They have dropped three of their past four games, including two road defeats. Their two wins were against Florida A&M and Akron. The Florida Atlantic Owls have only played two home games. They are 1-1 at home and have momentum after posting a big road win against Rice last week.
Furthermore, FAU has an outstanding QB in Caden Veitkamp. He has surpassed 300 passing yards in three of five games. FAU is averaging a remarkable 318 passing yards per game, which ranks ninth in the country. This is key in this matchup against the Blazers' horrendous defense. They are ranked 65th against the pass an conceding an average of 445 yards per game. Also, the UAB offense has been kept to 24 or fewer points in three of its past four games. This is not ideal, considering the putrid defense. I am surprised this spread is this low and expect the Owls to win this one by 10 + points.
Over/Under Pick for UAB vs. FAU
- Over 69 (5 units)
I expect a shootout in this one. UAB will contribute to this total. They have a dominant passing offense led by a potent QB in Kitna. They are averaging a stunning 307 yards per game. Kitna will post his big numbers against a subpar Owls defense. The pass defense is mediocre, ranking 55th in the country. The Owls have surrendered an average of 33 points.
In addition, FAU is consistently scoring, netting 26 or more points in all but one game this season. The Blazers' defense is among the worst in the country. They surrendered 42 points against Alabama State, which does not play in the FBS. Also, these offenses are quick, ranking above average in plays per game. The over is a convincing 5-0 in the Owls’ previous five home games.
