BET NOW!!!<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>UAB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Blazers have had an interesting season complete with a couple surprising upsets against Troy and Southern Mississippi.\u00a0 Unfortunately, unexpected home losses to Marshall and Florida International have prevented them from extending their season beyond this final regular season game against Rice with a bowl.\u00a0 Still there is definite promise for next year.<\/p>\n<p>The great reason for optimism is the development of QB Bryan Ellis.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t play in the opener and barely played in their loss to Florida International but since then he has received the bulk of the action and has performed exceptionally.\u00a0 4 three hundred yard games and only a single game under 200 yards while throwing for 22 TDs.\u00a0 He has another season of eligibility so UAB might be a team to reckon with the C-USA East next season.<\/p>\n<p>These teams have met only three times as they reside in separate divisions in C-USA.\u00a0 Each time the home team has won with UAB winning last year by 20 points for an easy cover.\u00a0 UAB has been favoured in each one of these contests and the team that has won the game has covered each time.\u00a0 With the short spread here I think that trend should continue this year.  <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykgz0JMEjDFP2Nd7ZgqdRLk\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: auto;
