UAB has been pretty shaky when it comes to putting up points lately, with 68 or fewer points in four of their last six games. The Blazers have also given up a few big points totals, like 93 versus FIU and 84 versus Southern Miss.
As for UTEP, they’ve been somewhat hit and miss over their last six games or so as well, but they’ve also got some solid outings mixed in there. I’m going to stick with the Miners on the cover here.
