FAU vs UAB

Underdog spark meets dominant play—expect the favored to prevail

Florida Atlantic

Owls (9-7-16-13) VS Blazers (12-4-19-10)

Mar 06, 2025 | 7:00 PM ET | UAB Arena

UAB
Moneyline Pick: UAB (-225) - A


UAB enters this contest with brisk momentum and a resilient roster, having demonstrated consistency on a recent win streak that starkly contrasts Florida Atlantic’s oscillating performance; while FAU has struggled to find its rhythm following a few critical setbacks, UAB’s key playmaker, who historically outperforms his counterpart in high-stakes clashes, appears ready to lead the charge despite a minor setback by their center which has been managed effectively, and with both teams pushing past 41 games towards playoff positioning, the implications of this matchup extend far beyond the regular season – all things considered, the advantage is decisively with UAB given their healthy roster, superior record, and history of clutch performances during pivotal moments

Over/Under Pick: Over 164, (-110) - A

Leonard Jackson has been lighting up the court lately, and with Florida Atlantic's record sitting at 9-7-16-13 amid a brief win streak while UAB holds a 12-4-19-10 mark and appears to be gaining momentum, this matchup is primed for a scoring explosion. Florida Atlantic’s lineup is missing key forward Max Langenfeld due to injury, which could stretch their defense and open lanes for UAB’s dynamic playmaker who has historically thrived against FAU's defensive schemes – and further fuel the high scores we expect. Riding on the momentum of both teams' recent trends, the significant absence inside, and the head-to-head legacy that favors fast-paced, perimeter shooting, our analysis leans confidently toward the total going over the line of 164. Bettors targeting this over at -110 have an attractive risk-to-reward setup, making this pick a strong candidate for success.

Spread Pick: UAB, -5 (-110) - A-
UAB’s dynamic junior guard has been lighting up the floor as his team rides a recent winning streak, capitalizing on a deeper roster confirmed on ESPN, while Florida Atlantic’s inconsistency has been evident following a couple of setbacks; with the extra boost of home-court energy at Bartow Arena, UAB enters the matchup ahead of schedule despite managing a minor ankle sprain for one of their key forwards and FAU contending with the absence of their leading scorer. Historically, UAB has held its own in conference clashes against teams similar to FAU, and today's odds – a -5 favorite at -110 – further support the projection that the home team’s blend of hot streaks, injury management, and previous success will tip the scales. Let home advantage seal the win!
