Western Kentucky at UAB

Western Kentucky has been a very good team since Rick Stansbury took over the program. His guys are always ready and competitive. The Hilltoppers are 9-6 to start the season. Since November 11, they have lost five games and none have been by more than 11 points, and all but one has been much closer than that. UAB is 12-4 to start the season but has played well beneath the line, and come in off back-to-back losses. Their most recent was against FIU as a 12-point favorite. The Blazers have covered just two of their last nine and although their straight-up record is good, the line seems to be shaded in many of their games. I think that's the case here. Make the play on Western Kentucky.
