UAB Can’t Stop a Top 25 team

Army vs. UAB Pick
Spread Pick for Army vs. UAB
- Army -6.5 (+4 Units)
UAB has lost two games against good teams and one of their wins came against an FCS team, with the other a narrow 3-point win over a one-win Akron team. The Black Knights already have more losses this season than all last season, when they went 12-2, including a 44-10 home win over UAB. The question is which army team will show up? The one that lost badly in their last game and who has lost to an FCS team or the one that beat a Kansas State team on the road that began the season in the top 25? In terms of the Army vs. UAB prediction, the Blazers will get their points with a solid aerial attack but the Black Knights will get more, as UAB will not be able to stop the run. Army will not blow out UAB like last season, but they will get the win and cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Army vs. UAB
- Over 57.5 (+4 Units)
UAB’s last game went Over, while Army’s last game went Under, and I am leaning towards the Over in this game. The Black Knights only scored six points in their last game, but scored 44 facing UAB last season. They have one of the best rushing offenses in the nation and they will rack up the rushing yards and points, facing a Blazers run defense that only ranks 128th in the nation. Army ranks in the middle of the pack when it comes to pass defense, and UAB ranks 13th in the nation in passing yards per game. Even facing two solid teams in their losses, including a top 25 one, they still scored 24 points in each game. They will put up a pretty high total and with the Army besting that, take the Over in what will be a high-scoring game.
