Just another opinion (analysis w/ game by game spreads):

The UConn Huskies will be the surprise team in the AAC in 2013 as they get back to a bowl game http://www.betfirm.com/connecticut-football-predictions/
>>I believe the Huskies have a chance to be one of the most improved teams in the country this season. They lost four games by a touchdown or less last season while finishing -14 in turnovers. Taking better care of the ball will certainly be a priority in 2013.
This is clearly Pasqualoni’s best team yet with 13 returning starters and only 12 lettermen lost. The offense will put up much better numbers than a year ago behind a veteran unit that returns eight starters. While the defense will have a hard time matching the 19.8 points per game it allowed last year with only five returning starters, this is still one of the better stop units in the new AAC.
I look for Connecticut to go 3-1 in non-conference play with victories over Towson, Maryland and Buffalo. I also expect it to win the five AAC games that it will be favored in against USF, Rutgers, Memphis, SMU and Temple. While they will not win the AAC in 2013, the Huskies are a very good bet to get over 5.5 wins and make it back to a bowl game.<<
