Result: Loss
#310 ASA PLAY 8* ON UAB Blazers (+) over Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, Friday at 8 PM ET - Earlier this week UAB was as much as a 3 point favorite. Now the Blazers are a 3 point dog. This is a fantastic value especially when you consider that UAB is on a 21-0 SU run in home games! The Blazers are battle-tested already as they had to face Miami this season. As you would expect, UAB lost that game by double digits but they are 4-0 SU in their other games. In those 4 victories the Blazers are averaging 36.3 points per game. In their last 3 games, UAB has allowed an average of only 12.3 points per game. Also, though they struggled against Miami (as expected), the Blazers have allowed only 285 yards per game in their other 4 games. Their defense is playing well, their offense is playing with confidence with scoring 37 points or more in 3 of their 4 victories and now they are at home where they also have plenty of confidence due to their long-term success here! Louisiana Lafayette still seems to be overvalued from their surprising upset of Iowa State earlier this season. The Ragin' Cajuns are actually 0-3 ATS since that win as 2 of their victories since then have come by 3 or less points. Now UL-Lafayette is off a loss to Coastal Carolina as they enter this game. The Ragin' Cajuns defense just does not seem to be on the same level as last year. Ever since the upset of the Cyclones in Week 1, ULL has been gashed and is giving up an average of 427 yards per game. Per our computer math model, Louisiana Lafayette will struggle to stop the balanced offensive attack of UAB as RB Brown delivers a big game for the Blazers. Couple that with a strong game from the Alabama-Birmingham defense, this match-up is set to go very well for the host! This one has the makings of a home dog upset and we're grabbing the points with UAB
