Connecticut: The Week That Was

The Huskies didn’t play the past week, and for a team that lost cornerback Jasper Howard earlier in the season, that’s the best possible thing that could have happened for coach Randy Edsall’s club. Finally, UConn was able to step away from the football field and take time to grieve for a beloved teammate.

NCAA Football Lines – Connecticut at West Virginia

Saturday, October 24 – Noon ET
BetUS NCAA Football Lines: WEST VIRGINIA -7.5

Of course, the minds of the Connecticut Huskies players may be somewhere else, after the incident this week where starting cornerback Jasper Howard was stabbed to death at an on-campus party. Howard’s family came to Storrs from Miami and asked the team to dedicate this game, and the rest of the season, to their son. Meanwhile, you can bet coach Randy Edsall told his team not to go out socializing, and not to “investigate” into what happened (there have since been arrests made).

Here are some of the NCAA college football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:

UConn vs. Louisville Matchup Preview (Feb. 2)

NCCAB: HUSKIES ARE ROAD WARRIORS

The Connecticut Huskies have been making their backers a lot of cash on the road this season.

UConn is 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in road games with lines this year. They had a huge win at Notre Dame that snapped the incredible 45-game home winning streak the Irish were on. Their only ATS loss was a 67-55 win at St. John’s where they failed to cover the spread by a measly half a point.
