Houston-UAB Betting Preview

UAB and Houston may be the least high profile of the three betting events tonight, but sports betting experts say it’s very strong from an investment standpoint. You have the official betting previews of Wake Forest-Clemson, and the Dodgers-Phillies, now he is the same for Alabama Birmingham and Houston. The college football odds have Houston as an 18-18.5 point chalk with a total ranging from 66 in Vegas to 67 on the offshore line.

Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com admits that “UAB is on our radar screen as a possible dichotomous straight up and ATS team.”

The official explanation is, “We discount 98 percent of trends, but this has proven to be the exception to the rule. Explained in our articles around the Net, basically if a team has a great SU record but horrid ATS record or visa versa, you ride for that to continue as it is the sign of which teams are most under or overvalued.”

UAB is 1-5 straight up, 0-5 outright in their lined games, yet is on a 2-0-1 spread run. Houston is 2-3 straight up, 1-3 to the Vegas odds, going over 3-of-4.   

UAB has a quality running game averaging 5.4 yards per rush to teams normally allowing 4.4. Defensively they are horrid, allowing 5.1 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.0, 9.0 yards per pass to teams normally getting 7.6 and 6.9 yards per play to 5.8.

Here are some betting trends, all records against the spread: the Blazers are 7-3 off a bye week. They are 2-9 on the road versus an opponent losing home record.  The Cougars are 7-19 at home to teams with a losing road record. They are in fact 1-8 their last nine games overall.

UAB has gone over 9-2 versus teams with a losing record.
