The UAB Blazers and Rice Owls have both had their seasons shortened due to cancellations and postponements, so it is a bit tough to really figure out where these teams currently are and it would not be surprise me if this is a bit of a sloppy game here on Saturday.
These two teams both have some solid talent, though, so it may very well end up being a good game from both a viewing and betting perspective.
UAB Blazers
This UAB team comes in here at 4-3 and has not been able to play for awhile, as they have had their last 4 games cancelled, so they very well could come into this game with a bit of rust. They do, however, possess a really solid running attack led by Spencer Brown who already has 10 TD’s despite the shortened season and he will look to play a big role here against the Owls.
In terms of the passing game, look out for Austin Watkins Jr who leads the team in receiving yards with 468 yards and 3 TD’s and who will look to make an impact here despite the run first attitude and low game total.
Rice Owls
The Rice Owls will have a tough time topping their effort from last week, as they beat the Marshall Thundering Herd 20-0 despite being 23.5 point underdogs in what was one of the shocks of the season in college football. Now Rice were solid, obviously, but they were the beneficiary of 5 turnovers from the Thundering Herd and it will be hard to imagine UAB will be that careless with the ball on Saturday.
Look for Rice to try and come in here and establish the run and play a time of possession and run first type of game plan here, as UAB does have the ability to hit big plays and hurt this Owls team quickly and slowing the pace of play down here will play into the Owls hands.

Free Week 15 NCAA Football Pick
I do believe that last game from the Owls was a bit of a fluke and although I do think there is a chance that the UAB Blazers come into this one a bit rusty, I do think there is enough value in this line to warrant siding with the guests on Saturday.
