MOTIVATION play here with UAB! I wonder about how much BYU cares about this game.
I'm a big believer that motivation is the biggest key in the minor bowls and from the Cougars vantage point this is as minor as it gets.

When the Cougars started the season with wins vs Arizona, Utah and Arizona St they were clearly thinking about being the top Group of 5 team. But after losses to Boise St and Baylor they find themselves in Shreveport, La.

When BYU gives up more than 21.5 points as a favorite, they are 1-11 ATS. Cougars will be without FIVE starters including 2 LB’s, a CB and their Center.

UAB should be the more excited team and in the games they lost this year they had over 100 yards of penalties so if they play smart I like them to win this game but I'll take the +6.5 as a bonus.
