Last Game Records for UAB vs. Western Kentucky

Western Kentucky bounced back after losing two games in a row and came away with a 35-17 win.
UAB vs. Western Kentucky Analysis
The one strength that we’re going to look at right away with UAB is what this team has been able to do on the offensive side of the football to start the season. They were able to score 59, 14, 35, 24, 41, and 34 points throughout their first six games of the season.
If they can continue doing what they’ve done on the offensive side of the football in this game, this should be a bet that we could possibly win if we decide to take them.
Hopkins Elite Level
When looking at what’s been working for them, it’s easy to see why Dylan Hopkins is currently playing at an elite level and helping his team score in bunches.
The season forecast right now for UAB is hopefully making the Conference USA championship and having the potential to play in an above-average bowl game.
The team certainly has enough to get the job done from what they do offensively, but they have to be better defensively some weeks if they’re hoping to complete that task.
Above-average Team
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are also an above-average team, and it’s something that we’re going to have to be thinking about here with that our UAB vs Western Kentucky best bets.
Western Kentucky is the favorite in this game, and it’s well-deserved, considering what they’ve also done on the offensive side of the football this season.
At 4-3, the team has managed to play some impressive football and has wins over Austin Peay, Hawaii, FIU, and Middle Tennessee State.
Their offense has also been the key for them this year, as they’ve scored:
- 38
- 49
- 30
- 73
- 27
- 28
- 35
Points in those seven games. If they can come out and do what they have done on the offensive side of the football all season long, this should be a game that does possibly hit the over because both of these offenses are two of the best for a mid-major program in the country.
Offensive Side
The season forecast at the moment for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers is to make sure that they can continue doing whatever they’ve done on the offensive side of the football.
They dropped two games in a row against Troy and UTSA but were able to bounce back against Middle Tennessee State.
If they can continue doing what they’ve done throughout the majority of the season and flush those two games down the drain, there’s a real chance that it could only be the two games that they lose all season long.
Odds Breakdown for UAB vs. Western Kentucky
Western Kentucky Odds
The college football odds coming into this game certainly warrant what has been played throughout the first few weeks of the season, considering that this game is going to be played at Western Kentucky.
Western Kentucky is going to be coming into this game as a 2.5-point favorite, -135 on the money line, and the over/under is going to be slotted at under 57.5. This could be a good idea for our best NCAAF picks.
UAB Odds
When looking at the season that UAB has had, they might be the team that we’re going to be putting some money on to cover that +2.5 spread that they’re getting.
This means that if they lost the game by less than two points or won the game outright, you would win your bet at -110 odds. UAB is going to have a money line at +115 in the over is going to be at 57.5.
UAB Blazers vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Betting Pick and Prediction
What we can expect in this college football matchup is two of the best offensive teams in college football going at it. If you’re a fan of watching teams that can score at a high level and are exciting at any given moment while making huge plays, this is certainly going to be the best game of the entire week that you could probably watch.
Although we won’t see much defense in this game, and if you’re a defensive-minded guy, we wouldn’t suggest turning it on; this game is going to be 2022 football at its best.
We are finally here with our UAB vs Western Kentucky best bets, and the college football standings are something that we’re going to be taking into account here.
Conference USA Standings
Both teams are at the top of the Conference USA standings at the moment, and that’s always something that we’re going to have to think about.
The best bet in this game is going to be taking Western Kentucky with the -2.5. The team has shown the ability to score with the best in college football, and although so has UAB, I feel safer putting money on a team that has scored as many as 73 points this season.
It’s a perfect time for them to continue what they have done throughout the entire year, and that would help us win our bet if they can come out and keep doing what they’ve done offensively.
NCAAF Pick: Western Kentucky -2.5 (-110)
