UAB + 6.5 medium/average play
A well balanced (#69 O, # 67 D) CUSA team, very very hungry for a bowl win after two years out of football, vs a MAC team that could not even beat Akron. Solich is a good coach but Ohio should not be fired up enough to cover. This is also a bit of an "E selection", though I would give it only a 5 rating.

Wyoming - 3.5 small play
MWC Wyoming # 24 D should keep MAC CMU O (# 94) at bay, and with Allen Wyoming has covered consistently even though they are using a vanilla offense. Wyoming is closer to home, familiar with the field, plays in a tougher conference, should prevail. CMU is a savy club, and good in bowls, and not sure Wyoming will be very fired up, not sure Allen will be at his best, so small play only.

GL!


It sucked that top FIU QB was knocked out on first series, their backup QB was woefully inadequate and unable to execute the original game plan, to boot. You could see FIU was fired up and more than held their own for a long time but after being unable to score and compensating for their turnover machine backup QB, FIU finally succumbed late. Gambling!

Traveling for the holidays, probably will not put up detailed write ups for 4-5 days.

Best to wait for status on Allen I’d he does not start then no play!

With you on UAB. I'll take the points in the other game. Wyoming has a garbage offense even with Allen. I don't see why anyone likes him as an NFL QB. Don't like the game alot. Got a feeling this might be a 3 point game either way

UAB strength is rushing offense going up against the 11th ranked rushing D. Meanwhile, Ohio HEAVILY leans towards rushing (17th) where UAB is below average at stopping it (72nd). The only question for me is if the line is too generous.

I think it is. I have watched Ohio and there is nothing impressive about them. I'm not saying UAB is anything special.......but 7 points is way too generous. I don't know the outcome just playing the odds.

and the MAC conference is fixed so I never feel comfortable being on them, especially out of conference

Definitely don't feel comfortable now. More favorites. Hopefully UAb can get it together

UAB happy to be in a bowl, in the Bahamas!
Ohio salvaging season after losing to Akron and not making the MAC Championship game.

That would have been a good, short writeup before the game. GL with the late game.
