UAB Blazers vs Florida Atlantic Owls Predictions 10/29/2022

 

The Florida Atlantic Owls (3-5; 3-5 ATS; 2-2 conf.) ended their three-game losing run with a 17-14 home victory against the Rice Owls in Week 7, but they lost again in Week 8 when they were defeated 24-21 by the UTEP Miners.

 

While sophomore running back Larry McCammon had 13 runs for 79 yards and a score, senior quarterback N’Kosi Perry completed 12 of his 20 throw attempts for 164 yards.

 

This season, N’Kosi Perry completed 56.6% of his passes for 1,802 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions.

 

LaJohntay Wester is the team’s top receiver with 48 receptions for 536 yards and eight touchdowns, while Larry McCammon leads the receiving corps with 791 yards from scrimmage and 5 scores on the season.

 

The Owls are tied for 69th in the US in scoring with 28.6 points per game, averaging 227.0 passing yards and 195.4 running yards, respectively (tied for 30th).

 

They rank 71st in scoring defense, giving up 26.8 points per game on 228.1 passing yards and 167.1 running yards (96th).

 

  • The total went UNDER in 5 of Florida Atlantic’s last 6 matches.

  • The total went OVER in 7 of Florida Atlantic’s last 8 matches against Alabama-Birmingham.

UAB Blazers vs Florida Atlantic Owls. The NCAAF pick for this game is the Florida Atlantic Owls. On the ground, it will be difficult for both sides to restrain one another.

 

Because of the Blazers’ strong pass defense, the Owls will run the ball a lot, and I’m trusting the home team to keep it within a score.

 

The stakes are quite high considering that UAB and Florida Atlantic are both 2-2 in league play. In three of FAU’s past four games, the margin of victory was three points or less, so I anticipate another close contest when the Owls play the Blazers.

 

The Florida Atlantic Owls will win by a predicted 27-21.
