UAB at Rice

A pair of Conference USA rivals clash with a shot at winning seasons, so look for both defenses to be on their A-game. UAB hasn't played since October so expect the offense to be a bit rusty. They've are on a 3-1 run UNDER the total, and have gone UNDER four of five after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. Rice's offense is averaging just 25.2 points per game coming off a 20-0 win at Marshall last week, while the defense has allowed an average of 11 points the last three contests. Rice has scored 20 total points the last two years versus UAB and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Play UAB/Rice UNDER the total.
