Florida Atlantic Owls Betting Preview

The Florida Atlantic Owls (16-13, 11-17 ATS) experienced their most positive streak of the season when they recorded five consecutive victories in early to mid-February. FAU then lost three in a row to Wichita State, Memphis, and North Texas, but bounced back with a W over South Florida on the road.

UAB Blazers Betting Preview

The UAB Blazers (19-10, 14-14 ATS) are playing very well at the moment, winning 12 of the previous 15 games. During the latest four-game winning streak, UAB beat USF, Rice, Temple, and Wichita State, but couldn’t make it five in a row as Memphis proved to be too strong. The Blazers are 3rd in the American Standings with one game behind North Texas and 2.5 behind the No.1 seed Memphis.

Florida Atlantic vs UAB Prediction

UAB won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the first meeting of the season when it was 81-76 in Florida. The Blazers also covered six of the last seven H2Hs and each of the past three. Furthermore, UAB was victorious in the last ten H2Hs at home. Florida Atlantic has only covered the Spread in 14 of its last 33 games. I don’t need any more arguments to back the Blazers to win and cover on Thursday as well.
