UAB vs. UConn Picks
Point Spread Pick for UAB vs. UConn
- UConn Huskies -11.5 (4 Units)
The Huskies have won three straight home games, while the Blazers have lost three straight road games. UConn has the edge here because they’re the better offensive team, scoring more than 40 points per game at home. Even though they like to throw the ball more, they also have a good ground game, and will keep the ball on the ground in this game because the Blazers haven’t been able to stop anyone from running against them, giving up more than 200 rushing yards per game, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Huskies.
UAB will have a hard time keeping up with the Huskies because they’ve been unable to run the ball consistently and rely heavily on their passing game. They'll also have a sligh letdown coming off one of the biggest wins in program history. The Huskies don’t have to worry about them running on their defense, which will allow them to focus on slowing down the pass. With a defense that is eighth in the country in sack percentage, expect Kitna or Burton to be under constant pressure, which will lead to him making mistakes. Go with UConn to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for UAB vs. UConn
- Over 64.5 (4 Units)

They throw the ball 61 percent of the time with the 12th-best passing attack in the country, and they’re facing a team that is 71st against the pass and is giving up 24.5 points per game.

They run the ball 50 percent of the time at home with the 63rd-best ground attack in the country, and they’re facing a team that is 121st against the run and is giving up 49 points per game on the road. Expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
