Opened at -7 and now is at -6. I figured it would open -3 or -4. We really need a CUSA win. FAU would be a good place to start!

FAU lost at Rice 18-14 on a 20yd run with 30 seconds left in the game. They are a very physical team, especially on defense, but have offensive issues(even though they had almost 300 yards passing)...

They also seem to have UAB's number...

RE: UAB is 7 points favor ?
I think the FAU game will be very telling. FAU is not the worst team left on the schedule (that distinction probably goes to FIU or USM), but they are not the best team either, plus the game is at home.

If we beat FAU, it doesn't guarantee a good year, but a win over FAU means there is a chance for a decent year with additional wins possible against FIU, Rice, and USM.

If we lose to FAU, our chances of having a decent year this year are pretty unlikely. Still could beat FIU or USM, but less likely if we can't beat FAU.

With a UAB win over FAU, I predict we will get additional wins over FIU, Rice, USM, and one of either UTSA, MTSU, Marshall, or ECU. Final record would be 6-6.

With a UAB loss to FAU, I predict we will get additional wins over FIU and USM. Final record would be 4-8.

So as I look at it, this FAU game is huge. Win it, and a bowl trip is still possible. Lose it, and we can all but kiss our bowl chances goodbye this season.

You can't predict future games based on the outcome of one game. Little known fact.

I think you don't understand the meaning of the word predict. I can't know with certainty the outcome of future games based on one game, but I can certainly conjecture.

Wouldn't that come out as 3-9?

Yeah, you're right. Unless we were to beat Rice as well. In any even, 3-4 wins is where I see us finishing should we lose to FAU. Around 6 wins is what I predict if we beat FAU.

But as I said, it's a prediction. We could obviously, in the end, do better or worse than what I predicted, but that's how I see it playing out at this point.

It would be, unless we found another win somewhere. FIU plays USM this week-lol. (USM is favored by 15.5).

UAB doesn't have a home field advantage.

Well some of the opposition have commented about the uncomfortable nature of a stadium so large being so quiet while our players are used to it. Sad, but I would say that can play to our advantage in home games.

That's worse than having no home field advantage.
