Connecticut +3.5 (POD)
You have to understand how College Football and in particular the Big East works when you wager this game. I understand that folks want to jump on Louisville after their big win against Kansas State at home.Heck, that was my POD and I told my clients that Louisville will win that game outright. But, that does that mean that Connecticut is equivalent to Kansas State? No. The Huskies are much better and frankly, they very well could win this game outright on the road. Over sixty percent of the public is backing Louisville here, and note that it is the Huskies that are 4-0 coming into this ballgame. The Huskies come off barely beating Baylor at home, but did beat Temple on the road who I believe is a better team this year than Louisville.Louisville is a decent team and Kansas State frankly is overrated in my book and just got caught like a deer in headlights in their first road game. Louisville of course has revenge in this game from last year's loss to the Huskies. Yet, I don't think they get it. This sets up nicely for Connecticut here coming off a loss of a cover and facing Louisville that is fresh on the public's mind with a big win on the weekday football in the prior week. I think the Huskies win this baby outright as they are 6-1 ATS following an ATS loss and 1-4 ATS in their last five Friday Night games.
