The REAL Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com: UCONN football +115 on the moneyline to South Florida.
With a Big East title and a BCS bowl berth on the line why not back Randy Edsall’s team up against a mediocre at best South Florida team who will probably be missing their quarterback.
The Bulls are alright, they do have some talent but all in all they are nothing special at all. South Florida just shocked Miami on the road in overtime but the Hurricanes are in a bit of disarray thanks to former coach Randy Shannon. The coach was a joke who somehow didn’t play Jacory Harris until the fourth quarter. The days of being highly ranked with Matt Grothe, Jason Pierre-Paul and George Selvie are gone and this current edition, and especially if without BJ Daniels, is just not very good.
I’m not at all saying that the Big East isn’t half a joke or that the Huskies are deserving of playing in a BCS Bowl but that is the situation right now. Plus UCONN is easily playing their best ball of the season and they boast a running back in Jordan Todman who is awesome and going to be playing somewhere on Sundays.
Edsall is a phenomenal coach who is highly coveted and in the near future more than likely will trade up and go to greener pastures. He has his guys in a position to win a fifth straight game and with everything on the line there’s no reason why they can’t win this game, even in semi hostile territory. Zach Frazier needs to just remain competent and manage the game and Todman needs to be Todman, which he seems to be game in and game out.
I will pass up a meaningless two points and take the plus money on the moneyline rolling with the red hot Huskies. If the number hits that field goal than go with your gut.
Top expert pick on this game: Connecticut outright from Matt Rivers.
