He has brought in seven receptions for 201 yards and three scores. Casey Reynolds has five receptions this year with two scores and 124 yards.

Final UAB-Army Prediction & Pick

UAB struggled against the running attack of Navy. They allowed 227 yards on the ground with three touchdowns. Further, they allowed Blake Horvath to go 9-11 passing for 225 yards and a score. While Bryson Daily is not the same level of passer, he is a better runner and will find success against this UAB defense. Further, Army is not only winning but dominating. They are 5-0 against the spread, coming by 16 or more points in each of the last four games. The odds in this game are starting to follow this trend and the UAB is getting more points than any team except Lehigh against Army. Army also gets up early on teams. They have scored on the first drive in every game this year.  Army will continue that trend and cover with ease.

Final UAB-Army Prediction & Pick: Army -25.5 (-114)
