UAB vs UConn Prediction
UConn has the offensive ability to blow the doors off a UAB defense that’s 124th in total defense and 134th in scoring defense. However, this feels like a line that’s based on reputation, as UAB has found some wins recently and has improved greatly offensively. UConn just lost as a double-digit favorite to Rice, and has now failed to cover 3 of its last 4 games as a double-digit favorite. UAB just upset Memphis and has had an extra week to prepare for this game. I love my dogs that have the rest advantage. I’ll grab the points with UAB in this spot.
