UAB Blazers vs South Alabama Jaguars: Prediction
The over is 5-0-1 in the Blazers' last six games against a team that has a losing record. The over is also 13-2-1 in the Blazers' last sixteen home games. There are no injury concerns for either team at the moment so expect them to come at full strength.
The two teams have played each other four times in the past and UAB has a 3-1 lead. But their last encounter was back in 2012 and now the two sides will meet after 10 years. Expect a straight win for the home team. Their current form is far superior to that of the Jaguars.
Final Prediction: Total Over 150 (-110)
