UAB vs Charlotte Prediction
Charlotte was able to snap their four-game losing streak with a win over FAU last week and they will try to finish the season with a two-game winning streak. The 49ers have had issues on defense this season and they have allowed at least 33 points in four of their last five games. UAB also picked up a win over Rice last week and their defense is also not very good. I think we could see plenty of points in this matchup, but I am going to take Charlotte at home. Take the 49ers here.
