The Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Friday games. The Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 25-12 in Eagles last 37 road games. The under is 17-8-2 in Blazers last 27 overall.

This isn’t the best Morehead State Eagles team in the world, and they were awful offensively in their opener against Auburn. However, Morehead State has been money in the underdog role dating back to last season, and it’s a program that consistently produces quality players and winning seasons. The UAB Blazers are obviously the better team and have a chance to be a factor in the C-USA, but this is a lot of points to give the Eagles. I’ll take them.
