Sport: College FootballPick Selection: UTEP over UAB
Take UTEP over UAB at 8:00 ET. UTEP has a ton to play for, knowing that if they close the season on a hot stretch, a bowl is in the offing. The Miners showed me a lot in their loss to Tulsa, proving that they can play with the best teams in the conference. They have the skill players to do so, including DB Quintin Demps, WR Johnnie Lee Higgins, and QB Jordan Palmer. Against this UAB team that hasn't had the best pass defense (63% comp against), Palmer and Higgins will have a field day. UTEP has hit on nearly 2/3 of their pass attempts this season, and against a UAB team that has struggled on offense this year (18.4 ppg, 305.1 ypg; scored just 9 vs SMU) it's just going to be a matter of offensive strength. UAB has lost their last three SU/ATS, and loses again here today to a team which will heat up down the stretch. Take UTEP.
