I am playing Louisville plus the points-----Louisville is a 2nd half team...UConn steamers will be celebrating early when Uconn jumps out but Louisville is gonna come back and cover .....This is a highly conditioned team and they can go the distance in every game....their problem is they fall behind early and usually can't come back to win straight up. Louisville plays UConn tough....This is the angle I'm taking here.... Here are the goods: (Louisville outscored opponents 65-62 in the second half this year. You may say that doesn't mean squat.....but, if you take out the 28-0 2nd half run that Big East powerhouse Pitt stuck to Louisville....then Louisville is outscoring opponents 65-34 in the 2nd half. Those games included a close loss to Kentucky (27-31). The only team UConn has beaten by more than 10 pts this year has been Rhode Island-with other games played against Ohio, UNC, Baylor, and Pitt.
UConn opened the season with a win against Ohio (23-16) and beat Baylor on the road (30-22). I look for UConn to jump out early and get complacent against their Big East division opponent. Louisville will look for the upset and their record of outscoring opponents in the 2nd half of 4 out of 5 games this year gives them a cover.
Also, taking MIN +17 and U 46 at Penn St. Weather is huge factor in this game....2-8" of wet snow forecast, Penn. St. officials are already telling people to take it easy getting to the game and have closed some grass areas to the fans due to the weather--GRIZ
