huskies at home, coming off 3 wins after a detrimental opening to the 2013 season
does anything think that BYU can actually cover this?

BYU wins su but with it being the first game and long travel I'd look to UConn on a teaser. BYU has talent but there not Oregon or Stanford. Cougars 5-8 ats road fav/Huskies 9-2-1 ats home dog L4y. UConn defense should keep it close but I don't know if they have enough skill on offense.

BYU wins this game rather easily. UConn is just terrrible. They lost their starting RB McCombs to an arrest for a fight he had with his girl friend. That makes UConn's offense one dememtional, if they can find a QB to throw the ball. BYU's offense is set, and is going to score points. I think BYU will cover the 17, but I would not wager on it. They can get back doored when the bench is cleared.

No no no. I'm from CT and go to plenty of uconn games. BYU is going to destroy uconn. As much as I'd love to back my huskies here...who is going to score for uconn? RB is gone. As far as I'm concerned I might as well be playing QB. Yes the def is good but not against better level teams.
I'll probably make a very small bet on BYU team total and enjoy the game while I'm there.

That is a great attitude.

I like BYU to cover hear. BYU's QB really started figuring it out at the end of last season. He's a great running QB but early on his arm sucked. He got better as the season progressed. Only thing that worries me is I'm still having flashbacks of last year when BYU went to play a crappy Virginia team, first game of the season and BYU didn't show up and got beat. I'm still gonna take the Cougs spread here.

I am glad to see that a game between a good team (BUY 7.5 on a scale of 1-10) on the road and a prro team (UConn 3.5 out of 1-10) can actually draw attention in here.

BigD, it's baseball season and I'm bored shitless. I'll talk about any football game you want to talk about. Just bring on the season already.

I'm a Uconn fan as well....they will definitely be improved this season with Pasqualoni gone, that guy was a complete joke. It was obvious the players quit on him last season. That being said, this is probably not the best matchup for them to start the season so BYU or no play here. I would back Uconn as the season goes along though as they should get more and more comfortable with the new staff.

with BYU's running back suspended for the first game, doesn't this make the odds seem juicier for the Huskies?

BYU - should make Basketball game out of it [ BYU 35+ and UConn 10 or less ] - I think BYU is ready for this opening game , they will show with basketball ball and make basketball game out of it !! I like them a lot !!

its dropped to 15. Clearly BYU's rb not playing must've made some difference in the spread

I hope the line continues to drop. 14 or under and I'll place a very small bet on BYU or their Team Total OVER. Unfortunately i am no longer going to this game thanks to work.
best of luck all. and GO HUSKIES / DUCKS!
