College football Week 3 betting action sees the Boise State Broncos taking on the Connecticut Huskies on Saturday, September 13th at Rentschler Field in East Hartford. Cappers Picks provides free NCAA football handicapping tips all season long.
Even though the Huskies are not the highest seed left in the field (they are a #7 while Kentucky is a #8) it seems like everyone is looking at them like they are a cinderella story.
The Huskies did not win the AAC tournament but they have to be pleased with the fact that they were not embarrassed by Louisville again.
Louisville’s Russ Smith and Connecticut’s Shabazz Napier have had plenty of glorified moments in their collegiate careers; Saturday presents a chance for one of them to put an exclamation point on their senior seasons as the two of conference’s elite guards get an opportunity to go head-to-head.
Both of these teams are into the tournament so this is just a game to determine seeding and to answer which team has the better group of guards. Memphis may have the Huskies in terms of depth but on talent you might want to go with Connecticut.
The Stanford Cardinal were expected to be a second tier team in the PAC 12 and so far they done nothing to change that perspective.
Louisville has fallen pretty far off the national radar since losing to UCF a few weeks back. This week they travel to a winless UConn team – yes I was surprised by that too as this is usually a middle of the pack program.
UCONN is sitting at 19 wins and they are 9-5 in Big East play and with a 20th win tonight against a top 10 Georgetown team they may be a lock for the Big Dance.
Louisville is one of the hottest teams in the country winners of 10 straight, but they have a tough task facing a UCONN team that has won 2 straight and is coming off a great road win over a ranked Notre Dame team. NCAAB odds have Louisville as a 7-point road favorite with a total of 132.
UCONN (17-12) is the defending champion, but they have really sputtered down the stretch and have lost 3 of their last 4 games including their last 2.
The Syracuse Orange are looking primed for a #1 seed in the tournament. They still have just the one loss at Notre Dame which is looking better and better everyday as the Irish climb the rankings.
When Big East play began it looked as if defending champion UCONN (16-10) was a shoe in to play in the Big Dance, but since winning their first 2 conference games they are only 4-8 since.
Is it possible a team ranked in the top 5 preseason might not even make the tournament?
The Cincinnati Bearcats will look to gain ground on Big East leaders Syracuse with a rare win at No. 11 Connecticut on Wednesday night.
The No. 9 Connecticut Huskies will look to push their current win streak to eight when they tip off against a Pirates team that will be looking to improve 2-1 in Big East play after a big win over West Virginia the last time out.
