UAB vs Rice Pick
This game triggered one of our Action PRO betting systems, powered by Evan Abrams.
In both regular season and postseason college football, home favorites in conference play who have performed poorly against the spread in recent games are often overvalued.
A string of ATS losses signals that market expectations have consistently outpaced on-field results, yet public perception and home-field bias can still inflate the line.
Conference opponents, familiar with schemes and tendencies, are well-positioned to exploit these weaknesses.
This creates an environment where fading the struggling home favorite offers consistent value.
Pick: UAB +2.5 (-105, bet365)
