Memphis vs UAB Prediction

In this Memphis vs UAB Prediction, UAB is coming as -1.5 home favorites. UAB has been the better team this season but they have been mediocre at home. Memphis has been terrible on the road with just one win in seven road games and are 1-3 in their last 4 games and even weaker against the spread, with a 2-7 ATS record in their last 9 games. UAB is 4-2 in its last 6 games and has a far better offense, scoring 7.7 points per game more, so I like them as home favorites in this spot. Take UAB and lay the -1.5 point.
