Charlotte 49ers vs. UAB Blazers Prediction

I’m going to lean towards Charlotte and the points here. I just don’t feel like this UAB team should be laying this kind of number against anyone and we’ve admittedly seen Charlotte be a lot more competitive in a lot of their recent outings. I think this has the makings of a sneaky dog play so give me Charlotte and the points in this one.
