Seriously? After the last six weeks we’re 10 points dogs to Army? I wish I was still in Vegas this morning. That strikes me as a really high odds wager.

I went back to check twice… I thought I read it wrong.

 

[BugsyCT]

Major diss by Vegas after just beating a top 20 team. Plus we’re about 9-2 against the spread this season.

 

[RedStickHusky]

9-2 and that sounds like easy money. Sure to drop during the week.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Army's three wins are Nova, Colgate, and La Monroe...

 

[AzHusky]

I was just looking at DraftKings and saw 10 points dogs and came here to check to see if I was reading that right. Guess I need to put some down on that stuff.

Army is a run heavy team which plays plays well into our strengths in defense. I don't see Army doing much this game.

On one hand, it makes me nervous that's what the sharpies think. On the other hand, I think I just might take a ride to Rhody.

I feel so much more confident knowing I have seen our LBs and DBs make open field tackles throughout this season.
Army is impossible to stop if your defenders can't tackle one on one. Gang tackling is less frequent because every defender is assigned an offensive skill player and if you cheat on your assignment Army will burn you.

From Coach Mora’s Post-Liberty Media availability:

 

[Palatine]

Army led us 42-0 at halftime last year (or something like that.)

 

[ZooCougar]

Army didn’t even score 10 points this week.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Army led us 42-0 at halftime last year (or something like that.)

Yup and we sucked back then.

 

[Waquoit]

What was the Fresno score last year?

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Wow. Usually when a line is this unusual i ask what vegas knows that the rest of us don't.

Whatever it is, i can't see it.

 

[Waquoit]

Army led us 42-0 at halftime last year (or something like that.)

But last year we were at a schematic disadvantage.

I agree. Something about this line doesn't smell right. As we were driving home from the Rent yesterday, me and my crew were trying to figure what the line against Army would be. There was four of us and we all agreed that Uconn would be any where from 3-6 point favorites. We all know our stuff and do a little handicapping before a wager is made. With the present line of Army -10 and the U/O being 43.5, the projected score would to be Army 27-17 for them to cover. Army will not score, I repeat NOT SCORE 27 points Saturday. They have only scored 16 points the last two weeks combined. I spoke to a Army season ticketholder today at church and told him I was going to the game next Saturday and he said Army sucks this year. He blames the coach. I have been to Michie stadium a number of times. Great place to see a game, but not a huge home field advantage. Just don't see how a team. winners of five of their last six games, the last one being against a top 25 team be a 10 point dog against a team that has only beat one FBS team all year. SOMETHING STINKS

 

[warbler1055]

A disrespected team is a dangerous team. I believe HCJM and staff will prepare the team to play their best. UConn FB just have to prove the skeptics wrong again.

 

[gopher2]

Army led us 42-0 at halftime last year (or something like that.)

And it wasn't that close.

 

[gopher2]

I was surprised by this line as well. Oddsmakers are probably looking at last year's result, the fact that Army is hard to beat at home, and their two recent defensive performances against Air Force and Troy. They may also think we will be emotionally drained after the big win over Liberty. The fact that we are already bowl eligible whereas Army has to win out may also be a factor.

The +10 spread should get our guys fired up.

 

[Marbles90]

Army's three wins are Nova, Colgate, and La Monroe...

Yes, but the record of the teams they lost to are a combined 43-17… Coastal 9-1, USTA 8-2, Troy 8-2, Air Force 7-3 Wake 6-4, GA South 5-5…

 

[RedStickHusky]

Yes, but the record of the teams they lost to are a combined 43-17… Coastal 9-1, USTA 8-2, Troy 8-2, Air Force 7-3 Wake 6-4, GA South 5-5…

Good point.

 

[Devland]

One of the reasons for the +10 spread could be UConns 1-5 road record. Remember the odds makers don't set the spread on what they think will happen. They set the spread to get the same amount of money on each side. The thought may be that gamblers will look at UConn 's road record and bet Army.

 

[uconntailgater]

Obviously we want to win next week against Army. If we do we not only get to seven wins but we knock Army out of bowl eligibility. Navy is not bowl eligible. that’s two spots that open up for us.
