UConn +37 @ UCF

[BugsyCT]

There are 164 college football teams that have been dogs of 35-40 in the dataset I saw.

These teams have 2 wins. They win 1.2% of the time.

Based on these numbers it would be the third biggest point spread upset recorded.

Stanford over USC and Howard over UNLV?

 

[Purple Stein]

Up to +40.5, with the money finally starting to go toward UConn. Imagine this thing settles down around +39.

I don’t think it’s updated with this season so I don’t think Howard is in it.

He put points on the board in less than a quarter of play 6 days ago. But by all means, keep up the negativity.

4 other games between FBS opponents have closed -40 or higher this season, and three have not resulted in covers:

Oklahoma 56 UTEP 7 (OU -42)
Alabama 41 Fresno St 10 (Alabama -42.5)
Louisville 42 Kent St 3 (Louisville -42)
Ohio State 54 UNLV 21 (Ohio St -40)

All of these were in September, when Vegas and the public were still figuring things out - everybody might have a better grasp on reality at this point. I'm still keeping my fake pennies on the Huskies so I'm not conFLiCTed when I tune in.

In the waning minuets of a blowout against a defense who no longer cared

 

[whaler11]

Based on the lines UConn would be projected to score a whopping 12 points.

And we'll probably get blown out in this game too. All I'm saying is it seems unfair to guarantee that the guy won't score a point. He's not as good as BS, but he's not the worst QB we've put out there in the past 7 years.

 

[Waquoit]

Take the points!!!!!!

This is a Civil Conflict game

Yup, throw out the record books.

Is there anything worse than being accused of negativity on this board? Wow. I think not.

 

[Waquoit]

Was he really? My recollection was that it was more of a "sure, why not" reaction.

 

[Waquoit]

They hired Chad Millman away from ESPN...

Is this the Musburger thing?

 

[whaler11]

Is this the Musburger thing?

Nope. That’s VSIN. Which is really a radio station with some written content on their website.

Millman went to go work for The Action Network. Which is the parent company that owns stuff like Bet Labs and just started the Sports Action app which is excellent.

No

not much we can do about that, but make the best of it and support him.

I will when the game thread starts thanks

 

[Redding Husky]

C'mon guys! Bring the trophy home to its rightful place!

 

[Purple Stein]

Closed +38

 

[cgbgjr]

UCF is one touchdown away from beating the spread....the tension is rising...

 

[Purple Stein]

 

[Jerry1714]

Good teams win, great teams cover

 

[History Geek]

We beat the spread. There was some good things to build on for the future. Pindell has strengths -- hopefully the coaching staff will coach enough of the weaknesses out of him during the off season. What needs to be fixed on defense will not be fixed in the month of November.

We lost 49-24 and I am strangely content. This has been a weird year. I guess that's what happens when your expectations are almost zero. But WHEN we finally start winning (hopefully sooner rather than later), it is going to be that much sweeter.

Go Huskies!
