UAB Blazers vs South Florida Bulls Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 01/04/26

The UAB Blazers will travel to Tampa Bay on Sunday for an American Conference game against the South Florida Bulls. Both teams will look for their first conference win of the season with a victory here. UAB lost by five to Wichita State in their American opener while South Florida has yet to play a league game. The Bulls are coming into the game on a two-game winning streak, and I expect them to keep the momentum going here.

South Florida is currently -6.5 and that is my best bet of the game. I like the Bulls to cover in this one because they have been the better team over the past month. South Florida lost just one game in the month of December while UAB lost to Middle Tennessee, Troy and Wichita State last month. The Bulls are ranked 34th team in the country on BartTorvik since December 1. Since December started, they are ranked 7th in offensive rebounding percentage, 39th in offensive efficiency and 52nd in defensive efficiency. UAB is ranked outside the top 100 in both offensive and defensive efficiency since December 1, so I do not see them keeping this game within the number. Take South Florida here.

UAB vs South Florida prediction: South Florida -6.5 available at time of publishing. Playable to -7.5
