But they only scored like......9 points?  Right?

Henry, Dragon, Raul- I am active Air Force weather forecaster..so here is to ya.., as far as this game, I think that Baylor will score some points, I am not sure about enough to cover though.  So my play for now is the OVER, will update later with final decisions..y'all might want to go the other way though..I am 0-4 last to nights with side and ttl..can't do much worse though, right? (dear God, I hope not)..haha

Going with UCONN-6.5 first half after I swore I would not bet on them anymore, why can't non-bigeast teams on weeknights? Just like them too much here at home not to pull the trigger. Hopefully they can go turnover free and control the ball. Not like what they did against that lousy Temple team in the tropical storm.
 
UCONN -6.5 1st half (2 units)

Uconn will play well tonight.  They usually do on week night games at home.  They have been getting better and better the last three years and everything points to them finally making a real move at taking the Big East this year.   On the other hand, Baylor used to be an easy "go against" 3-5 years ago, but are also improving little by little also.........just not as good or as fast as Uconn. 
 
Baylor is a very poor road team over the last three years........like the Lions in the NFL.  When they travel........you go against them.......it will pay you far more often than not. 
 
That is the most simple way I can explain why tonight isn't a bad time to lay the double digit chalk. 
Happy Friday to all!!!!!!

Baylor covers in this one. Both teams have shown they can score but I just don't see this as getting away from Baylor by two TD's. UCONN should win by 7.

I may have to jump on the Big D train tonight with the UCONN 1st half...
 
Also, as I stated the other night....Big EastCan't seem to handle the likes of other conferences (although the Ville looked OK against K-state) and IMHO think that Baylor can hang around in this game and possibly not only get a backdoor TD, but maybe pull the upset....Baylor gets whacked around a lot in conference play.

HooWah.....
 
 
Been getting killed on Faves this week. If I switch tonight the Fave will hit. So I'm stickin' with the Fave....
 
UCONN -up to 13.5
 
If it gets above that, it's a no play for me.

 It was a bitch building them bridges but I loved blowing them up  Mardi Gras in New Orleans made up for all that hard work.

Totals killed me this week trying to get back on track with this one.

Good luck today soldier

 Come aboard bro but just a warning my friend this is not a strong pick for me but I do like the matchup and stats that points towards to UCONN's favor.

Good luck on this one bro

Nice to see fellow vets in here.  

Remember that cadence in the Army...

They say that in the Army the pay is mighty fine. They give you a hundred dollars but take back 99. That's how I felt this week when the house took back some of my winnings from last week

Good luck to all and God Bless them fellow soldiers

I gotta get back to work but will try to get back during game time.

Aloha

Everbodys pounding U Conn I'll take Baylor +13.5
Bears still appear to be underrated under new coach Art Briles. Briles has brought in an offense that has proven to be successful at Houston and his fantastic freshman quarterback Robert Griffin is bringing that attack to life with a combination of good passing (9.1 yards per pass play and zero interceptions) and great running (307 yards on just 27 rushing plays). Griffin has been joined by sophomore back Jay Finley, who has run for 232 yards at 8.3 ypr in 3 games. Connecticut is very good defending the pass, but they are just mediocre against the run and I expect Griffin to have another good rushing performance. Baylor’s defense was pretty good against the run last year and their pass defense has greatly improved under the new coaching staff, so the Bears are now about average defensively and shouldn’t be overwhelmed by U Conn’s very strong rushing attack. The Huskies have averaged 305 yards at 6.3 yards per rushing play this season and they’ll get their yards on the ground even though Baylor has yielded just 3.8 yprp in their first 3 games (against teams that would average only 4.0 yprp against an average team). Overall it appears as if Baylor is underrated, as my ratings favor U Conn by just 5 points and using this year’s games only would make this game a pick. Connecticut, however, applies to a very strong 42-10-1 ATS subset of a 106-39-4 ATS home momentum situation, so I’ll only lean with the Bears this week. Analysis provided by DR. Bob.
