UCONN Over/Under 5.5 - What Say You?

[ManFromOZ]

Getting closer and closer to kick-off. It starts with the Wolfpack and getting 18. (Take the points) Anticipation is higher and higher with Huskies on the rise. Last year, our boys were a veritable ATM as they blew past the over win total and provided real return on individual game bets. Interesting to see the number at 5.5 (have to laugh that UMESS is at 2.5 with old friend Don Brown) The number is high but you have to take into consideration the schedule we're playing. (not exactly what we'd face in Big 12 with the likes of Mike "I'm 40, I'm a man" Gundy.) Had some fun and assigned W's and L's to the schedule. 7 home game helps!!! What say you?

NC State (L)
Georgia St (L) Tough Away Game
FIU (W)
Duke (W) (Just Like in NCAA Tourney)
Utah St (W)
Rice (L)
South Florida (W) (Like the Big East Days)
BC (L)
Tenn (L) (Rocky Top is a Tall Task)
James Madison (W)
Sacred Heart (W) (We Could Win with my 60+ Year Old Buddies Coming Off the Edge)
UMESS (W)

7-5 - Put On the Bowling Shoes

10-2. I don’t know , but I do feel that the only game where we have no chance is at Tennessee.

Georgia State - W
FIU - W
Duke - L
Utah State - W
Rice - W
USF - L
Boston College - W
Tennessee - L
James Madison - W
Sacred Heart - W

Boston College - L (don't think we can do it 2 yrs in a row)
Tennessee - L
James Madison - L
Sacred Heart - W
UMass - W

7-5

 

[HuskyAlum012]

Believe DK now has the spread at o/u of 5. And FD has the o/u at 4.5 (-150 ish). I touched the over 5.5 at +110 and +125.

 

[UConn Dan]

Floor is 7-5 but the ceiling is 14-0 national champs baby!!

 

[Stinger92860]

I bet the over about 2-3 weeks ago. I believe In the Reload!!

 

[RSTuthill]

Could go either way, as Kingswood-Oxford alum playing Jay Peterman would say about his chances of getting into a thirds lacrosse game.

I have concerns about UConn's losses, but the QB room is much stronger. Even Zion. So I gotta think that they will have a much more effective passing attack which should really open things up. So it is unclear.

But the prediction windage derived from last year's experience tells us not to sell HCJM short. So I will go for the OVER!!!

[Husky92]

Man, this is crazy. Looking at the schedule I see a lot of W’s. But realistically, we had a long way to go to be consistently good. Chances are we’ll go 7-5 or even 6-6. But I guess I have us at 8-5. Either way, with 5 as a benchmark UConn is a definite OVER.

NC State - Loss
Georgia St - Win
FIU - Win
Duke - Loss
Utah St - Win
Rice - Win
South Florida - Win
BC - Loss
Tenn - Loss
James Madison - Win
Sacred Heart - Win
Umass - Win

I know I am stealing a line from the yard, maybe @UConn Dan or @Fishy , but I think we come out and punch NCST in the mouth and throat!!! We are going to surprise so I’ve taken the points also.

James Madison a win? BC would be easier. Just sayin'.

 

[Skies2018]

I don’t understand the people saying we’re going to lose on the road to BC but beat JMU on the road. Like JMU is a GOOD team. BC is still trash.

 

[NE Football]

It’s very difficult to predict games in Oct and Nov in June. Looking at programs that are heading in the right direction Duke & Tennessee are two losses. NC St is an established team under a long term head coach. They have talent and depth in their system. BC is a mess. Yes they have talent and yes they brought in some very good portal guys, but can Hafley put it together is the big question. By the time we play them they could be a 2 win team. Against the P5 I’d say we go 1-3. The remaining 8 games are all G5 or FCS level type teams. Give me 7-1 and 8-4 overall.

I’m with you but I think we’ll drop 2 road games to G5s. Quote me at 7-5.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Over.

 

[uconnbill]

Time to say it, 8-4 another beatdown of BCU

 

[UConnDan97]

This year is the easiest undefeated season I've predicted in a decade...

 

[businesslawyer]

Over. I don’t know that we’re going to win more games than last year, but I see the team overall being better (you don’t return 8 of 9 starting linemen and most of your skill players and not be better) and at a minimum matching last year’s win totals.

 

[History Geek]

Over

 

[Rdkid]

The over/under that matters is over/under 20k in attendance for our 6 home games.

 

[RSTuthill]

If UConn beats NCST that would almost surely happen. Even a loss by a field goal would go a lot way towards making that happen.

 

[Ldandy]

Outside of some unforeseen circumstances there is no good reason that you should not get to 7 or 8 wins against that schedule. Taking UT out of the equation, the remaining P5 Teams are mediocre to atrocious, and the G5 Schools are all very manageable even on the road.

Under. One 6-6 year is not going to undo all the damage we did to our fan base.
