The (10-3) SU, (9-4) ATS Alabama Birmingham Blazers took down Middle Tennessee 27-25 as 1′ point road UNDERDOGS ATS for the Conference USA title.
It’s quite a feat for a program that dropped football after the 2014 season before deciding to bring it back in 2017 and a year later they’re Conference Champions. Head Coach Bill Clark is responsible for the only ten win season in school history.

The Opening Betting Line has Northern Illinois as 2′ point UNDERDOGS ATS at a neutral site. The TOTAL is 42′ Points for Tuesday’s contest.
Make no mistake most University of Alabama Birmingham players didn’t receive scholarship offers from the institute located in Tuscaloosa, but they’ve put together something special in 20018.
They’ll face a team Tuesday in the Sunshine State that plays a similar style which is running the football and playing hard-nosed defense. Offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent is in charge of a unit that ran the football 587 times for a (208.9) yards per game which ranked 2nd in Conference USA.
Sophomore running back Spencer Brown (1,149) rushing yards with a (4.7) yard per attempt average and he’ll get plenty of chances to showcase his talent tonight. However, Brown gives the credit of his offensive line which has four senior starters; all received first or second all-conference honors this season. The coaching staff has also been preaching to the team the loss to Ohio University in the 2017 Bahamas bowl;
they’ll have a chance for revenge against the MAC. UAB players also understand they’ll be facing a Northern Illinois defense that allows just (2.7) yards per attempt and (109.7) yards per game on the ground.
A key for UAB to get a victory is to eliminate mistakes and get pressure on the opposing quarterback.
Bovada.Lv list UAB at 7′ total wins for the win the 2018 season.
The Northern Illinois coaching staff may want to let Marcus Childress throw the ball a lot as he showed he’s capable.
Northern Illinois Head Coach Rod Carey wants to bring a bowl trophy back to DeKalb, Illinois in the worst way. The Huskies have lost five straight bowl games with four of them in blowout fashion. That’s why he’s treating this as a business trip and players seem to be responding with competitive practice sessions.
Northern Illinois went on the road to beat BYU 7-6 this season; they also performed admirably against Utah, Florida State, and Iowa.
The Huskies offense won’t scare anybody as they put up an average of (20.7) ppg which seems obsolete with the high powered offenses in today’s College Football landscape. They prefer to run the football and play defense, but something has to give with both teams having similar philosophies.
Running back Tre Harbison (985) yards on the ground should go over 1,000 tonight and is one of three players who’ll get touches in the rushing attack.
The coaching staff knows they’ll face a stingy UAB defense which is why they must trust Childress along trio wideouts with experience led by DJ Brown (55) pass receptions.
NIU led the nation with (50) quarterback sacks, but they’ll be more focused on the run.
Northern Illinois can’t get conservative; Carey and the coaching staff must trust the quarterback to bring the school their first bowl win in five seasons. All or nothing for Northern Illinois!
