Connecticut +7 buy hook 3.5* play

I'm going to take Uconn, they looked bad on the road again, but this is a team that has not had a lot of opporutnity to play equal talent at home and tonight is the night I think is a must win for this team at 3-5. They still have goals and a chance at a bowl game, and I have liked what I have seen from the offense and Bryant Shireffs has played extremely well at QB. They were able to move the ball against South Florida at home with over 500 yards of offense and East Carolina has a very similar defense.

East Carolina does not have the running game that South Florida has which is what killed Uconn in that game against the Bulls. I also think this is a tough situation for EAst Carolina. I don't see how they are up for this game. They led at the half against Temple and completely were out coached in the second half losing 24-14. I think that takes it's toll, because they are not going to get into the mix in the AAC and I see a hang over spot here tonight. Uconn and East Carolina also have two common opponents in BYU and Navy. Uconn was outscored by 14.5 points per game while East Carolina was outscored 15.5 points per game. I give Uconn an excellent chance to win this game.
