The UConn Huskies have not had a winning season since 2010. The Huskies are off to a 3-2 start, and look like an improved team. Somehow after beating three soft opponents including a bad FCS team in Marrimack, the Huskies have been elevated to #67 in the ESPN power ratings. I'm really not sure how that can happen when the best team you have beaten is ranked #104. Temple is another cupcake on the schedule, but the ratings for the Huskies can be called into question here. To put things in perspective here, the Huskies have not been a 17 point or greater favorite vs an FBS opponent since 2012 vs. UMass, a team that has never won more than four games since they joined the FBS. Sorry, can't buy this one. Make the play on Temple.

Pro Picks
Connecticut at Temple
Connecticut won't be going to a Bowl game but they haven't packed in the season, coming in off a 31-24 loss to East Carolina as a two-touchdown underdog. UConn has a strong ground attack behind Kevin Mensah (993 yards) and Art Thompkins (450 yards), both averaging over 4.5 yards per carry. They also covered against Illinois of the Big 10 in a 31-23 loss as a 21-point dog. They are a huge dog again to a Temple team that is no offensive dynamo, averaging 22.4 points the last ten contests. And college football road underdogs are 236-161 ATS after gaining 525+ total yards in their previous game. Play UConn.
