This is a 10* AAC GOM on SMU.

UAB is 14-7 overall, including 4-3 on the road, while SMU is 14-6, including 10-2 at home.

Off an 82-79 OT win at North Texas as a six-point dog though, all signs point to UAB suffering a predictable letdown here. In fact, note that the Blazers are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten following a SU/ATS conference road win as an underdog.

And with a home game vs. Conference leading FAU up next, not only does this potentially set up as a letdown spot for the visitors, but also a "look ahead" spot. Add those two factors together and you get "TRAP GAME."

SMU broke a two-game slide with an 80-76 win over Tulane here last time out. The Mustangs have lost three straight ATS, but that's also signficant to note as SMU is in fact 8-4 ATS in its last 12 after three or more straight ATS losses in a row.

Look for SMU to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish and to easily pull away for the win and cover before the final horn sounds.

Good luck, NP
