North Texas vs. UAB Prediction

I’m on the UAB Blazers in this game. I think that UAB is in a perfect spot here, at home with revenge on the brain after their narrow loss to North Texas in the first meeting. North Texas was really lucky in that game and I think that the fortunes turn the other way in UAB’s favor here. Give me the Blazers in this one.
