College Football Saturday
UConn +14 at Boston College 12 pm
PICK: UConn +14.5 / star
Both teams with sound run games and not great at defending the run.
Boston College has not been a team that wins by a big margin until last week at Georgia Tech but they picked off Haynes King 3 times, one for a Pick 6. BC still allowed GT 250 yards rushing and over 450 total yards in the game. BC had 14 points off of turnovers
A slow start to the season for UConn but they’ve played better lately. Since the 41-7 loss to Duke, UConn is 1-2 with the 2 losses to Utah St and USF by a total of 4 points combined.
I thought UConn would be a dog team to bet coming into the season, but they were a little slow to start. I think maybe they’ve reached that point now.
Teams are combining to gain and allow around 800 yards the past 3 games.
Teams combining for 60 ppg last 3 games
Teams combining to allow 53.4 ppg last 3 games
UConn #47 Strength of Schedule
BC #84 Strength of Schedule
Both offenses in the top 30 best in sack% allowed, also reflected in below average def pass rush grade, Both offenses should have some time to pass to go with good run offenses and bad run defenses.
