Pro Picks
UAB at Marshall
Outside of lopsided losses to LSU and Vanderbilt - both of the SEC, the UAB Blazers have played a rather light schedule. The problem is that they have gone 2-6 on the season, with just one of the wins was vs. FBS competition. That win came at the expense of Florida International who is 1-7 on the season, and it was by a meager 3 points. This team is 3 points away from being winless against FBS competition. Despite the rather cupcake-laden schedule, UAB has allowed 24 or more points to every team they have faced, so Marshall should get a lot of opportunities here. The Herd have been scoring at a high rate lately, averaging 55 points per game in their last two. And, they have gone for 49 or more points four times on the season and they should be able to add one to that. The Blazers have failed to cover each of their last four on the road, while the Herd is a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four at home. Lay the bundle, and play on Marshall.
