UConn +6

[dannyHAM]

Just saw the line open at +6.. Don't think vegas is accounting for Gilbert yet. Seems low for UConn being on the road against a strong UCF team. Thoughts?

I'm guessing Vegas is acknowledging that UConn is improved since last game, but likely will still lose on the road against a good team. 6 sounds about right to me.
I like our chances against this team, we just have to not play like next level bad basketball for a majority of the 2nd half like our last game against UCF. We're capable of so much better than that game.

Playing better I agree, but the last two wins were against Wichita and Tulane both in Gampel. Bad loss to Tulsa before that. Played well against Cinci, but lost. Beat a pretty average SMU team in Gampel. And lost to UCF and USF before that.

I would lay the -6 (now 6.5) here. #aacguru

This is what i'm saying. I hope so much that we're both wrong and UConn pulls of a huge road win.

KP has it 73-67 UCF.

Spoiler Alert - UConn is going to be about a 16 pt fave over ECU Sunday

Only -6 with no Gilbert? And UCf coming off 2 losses? Wow. Spread shud be at least 8-9. I’ll be ready to turn channel quick cuz this one might get out of hand early. That line seems ridiculously low pinning our hopes on tarin smith is not the answer. Maybe oddsmakers haven’t accounted for AG being out yet. Hope I’m wrong but seems like ez money on UCf side

Up to 7 this morning

UCF is also coming off a 20 point LOSS to Memphis

UCF is also coming off a 20 point LOSS to Memphis

And then Memphis promptly got blown out by Tulsa.

The American is wide open this year.

We could win this game by 10 or lose by 10, but the guys must be happy to be in FL on a day like today

Is KP that good with the spread?

Pretty much opens within a pt either direction. Can move on injuries, spots, etc.

purdue 7/7’
oregon -1/+1
murray 4/3
arizona state 5/6
colorado 2/1
gtown 3/3

Lay the points, since Gilbert hasn't been ruled out officially they haven't adjusted the line enough. UCF getting blown out last game also probably has kept UConn closer than they should be.

UConn's last win over a top 100 team in a true road game was 2 years ago and essentially every game has been by more than 6 points other than the last one against Cincy.

 

[Caronimo]

Has the spread moved? Has AG been officially ruled out? This spread could move so quickly based on an official AG statement. LETS STEAL A WIN.

I'm taking us ML. I've seen crazier things happen

Looks like up to +7.5.

Could be a play. Why not at this point the American has been all over the place.

 

[hypakz]

this should be +9.5 IMO

 

[Matt1010]

this should be +9.5 IMO

Why? UCF isn't that good. I think 7.5 is about right.

 

[HuskyHawk]

we are winning this game. Take the points.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

I took us +7 in a parlay and then on the ML on its own. Lets ride.

 

[lange10]

Life's too short to bet the under but under 136 is very enticing with Al likely out.

 

[hypakz]

Playing away at a team that beat us by 12 at home, and AG being out changes our offense. I'm not complaining, but the line is agressive on UConn. Evidenced by it opening at +6 and already moving to +7.5

Nostical? Is that you?
