CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER
West Virginia at Connecticut
Pick: West Virginia -6.5
UConn is 3-4 on the season and three of their four losses have been by at least 14 points.
Meanwhile, West Virginia is 5-2 but coming off by far their worst game of the year as they laid a stinker in a loss to Syracuse, 19-14. Their only other loss of the year was by six on the road at LSU.
With the way the Huskies have struggled this season on offense, if WVU can score a couple touchdowns, that might be enough to cover this spread. The Mountaineers rank fourth in the nation in total defense, sixth in scoring against and second in first downs allowed. The defense has allowed no more than 21 points in any game and has given up 20 or more only twice.
