Well I faded the public last night on the Oregon vs Arizona State game and lost, but made up most of my $$$$ on Arizona State 2nd half. Fading the public hits about 65% of the time.

While betting on UCONN is fading the public, I would take them regardless of the public % on them. Their defense is really good, and Syracuse is not that good. UCONN isnt an offensive jauggernaut, but they will keep this one close. I might buy up the line to +7 or +7.5 just to be safe.

UCONN HUSKIES +5

I like UCONN catching 4.5 pts.  I got a score of 29-26 UCONN.  I do see the games in the Dome have been close and SYR plays well there, but UCONN plays their opp. tough, with the only big loss to a good RUT team.

I'll take the pts on a Friday nite.  GLTA

Haha. Yeah, that dude made no sense. Plus he had no facts to back up any of his bogus post! That's why I proved him wrong! Didn't want people losing there money over lame info. If he comes back on bet against him always!!!!

However, this game I'm staying away. 2 sub par average teams that can't move the ball. Can't see any explosive plays coming from neither team. But I do give a slightly small edge to R. Nassib and the Syracuse Orangeman at home for home field advantage.

Nassib and Whitmer have both shown they are prone to errors.  Whimter has thrown for over 1500 yards, but this is accompanied by 11 interceptions. Nassib hasn't been with out fault as well throwing for over 1800 yards with 8 interceptions. This game is going to come down to which QB doesn't make mistakes, and I think that QB is going to be Nassib. Nassib takes every game seriously and we have seen some glimpses of quality. Syracuse has played some tough games, and recently held their own against a strong Rutgers running game. The overall statistics for offense and defense are in Connecticut's favor, but they haven't played anyone of merit, skewing the stats. Syracuse has played  strong USC, Pittsburgh, and  Northwestern teams and has held their own in most of the games. People are talking about Connecticut's defense, but I find them over rated. All these issues are not looking good for Connecticut, and are even more compounded by the fact that they are on the road at The Dome. Not to mention Syracuse is 5-0 ATS in their last five match ups and the home team holds a 6-2 ATS edge.  Look for Syracuse to finally pull their whole game together, and pull off at least a 10 point win here. Take the points for Syracuse (-4)?, up to (-7).

 

Cuse is 0-5 ATS last five against uconn.  I'm sure your site has many great free picks like "take the points for Syracuse"

Per the norm this game should come down to the wire IE: field goal or OT.Cuse with the win but doubt they cover.Cuse 1st h -2 1/2 and U44 GM.

You can analize the teams all you want, but when it comes to betting the game the line movement is what counts.

U Conn +4.5

Two passing squads with downfield potential. Geremy Davis is the real deal. He is due for a few TDs and and whittmer can't continue to turn the ball over like he has. We all know what nassib is capable of. Cuse is allowing 26 points a game on defense so tonight is a good spot for uconn to get on track offensively. I think this game can go either way but I like the over a lot. 

Over 43.5 (4 units)
Huskies ML +175 (risking 1 unit)

These are a couple of down teams this year and one (Connecticut) seems to be further down. That and the fact that the Carrier Dome will be packed and loud giving the Orange a definite home field advantage. I lay the 3, but more convincing to me is under 44 simply based on extremely weak offenses combined with a Connecticut team with a above average defense spells under 44.

UCONN coach back in familiar territory. Pasqualoni was the former coach of the Orange. I never was a fan of that cat. And to think I threw a two timer in on his Huskies to keep this one close. Like I always say "Stupid is as stupid does."

Gee this is like picking through the trash to find a winning ticket at the race track.....hate the line now at -5 for Cuse, usually go against teams that are favored by 5 points and have a huge success rate with them not covering. That being said, this might be a play for just the total to take a small shot on something because there isn't shit else to gamble on tonight.

over first half for me, then maybe might make a small play for second half.
