UMass vs UConn Best Picks and Prediction
Because of the Huskies' recent strong defense, the hosts should win and cover. The Minutemen could have a difficult time moving the ball against the Huskies' defense, so UConn will rely on their ground game to do so.
The Minutemen might not be able to stop the Huskies, who average just over 40 rushing attempts per game, particularly if their defensive team spends a lot of time on the field.
UConn is 4-1 ATS in its last four home contests and 5-0 ATS in its last five games. In the Huskies' last two appearances as favorites in 2022, the spread was covered. UMass, meanwhile, has covered four times in its last 14 total games.
Pick: Huskies -15.5 (-110)
