Betting Trends, News, and Notes

The Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl kicks off Saturday, December 18, between the UAB Blazers (8-4) and the BYU Cougars (10-2).

UAB represents the Conference USA. They’re a well-coached and consistent team under head coach Bill Clark, who has amassed a 68-42 record since the program reboot in 2017. They play hard-nosed, trench-oriented football led by a perennially stingy defense. While that style of play has them competing for the C-USA championship more often than not, it may not work out so well against a school like BYU.
