This may be too many points for FAU who are just finding their footing in conference play but haven't covered the spread in conference play this season. This UAB team beat them last season and even on the road should be able to cover this spread as they have six win streak coming into this game. UAB is generating the offense to stay competitive in this game and FAU's defense has some holes in it so this won't be a runnaway game.

UAB are 3-0 ATS this season as an underdog. FAU are 1-5 ATS this season when playing only their 2nd game in a week. FAU are 0-3 ATS in January games. FAU are 0-3 ATS this season against conference opponents. FAU are 2-4 ATS this season after a game where they failed to cover the spread.

Best bet: take the points with UAB.
