UAB Blazers

UAB football won four games in 2025 and still finished 6.83 units up on the moneyline, because one of those wins came over Memphis at +1100. Take that game away and the Blazers lost 4.17 units.

One ticket made the season

One unit on UAB in each of its 11 priced games returned 6.83 units. Only four FBS teams made more. The whole profit is one Saturday in October: Memphis visited as a 23.5-point favorite and lost 31-24, a +1100 ticket worth 11 units. The other ten priced games lost 4.17 between them.

That win is also why UAB’s home moneyline reads 8.23 units up over six games, a figure only two FBS teams beat. Against the spread the home side of the ledger was the opposite: one cover in six. Away from home the cover count was three, from six trips.

Ten times an underdog

UAB was the underdog in ten of its 12 games and won two, Memphis and a 31-24 finish at Tulsa at +260. It covered four of the ten. The two games it was favored in, it won and failed to cover both: 52-42 over Alabama State at -21.5 and 31-28 over Akron at -13.5. Overall that is 4-8 against the spread.

Points allowed

UAB gave up 38.25 points a game. Only one FBS team allowed more. At home, North Texas scored 53 and South Florida 48. Even so, seven of the 12 games stayed under the total.
