I've been waiting for this number to predictably move past the key number of 28 before jumping in on the underdog. Syracuse has a recent history of letdowns following big wins, as evidenced by going winless the rest of last season following its upset of Clemson. Syracuse has an underrated dual-threat QB in the rugged Eric Dungey, but the Huskies are developing one of their own. David Pindell had 445 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns last week against Rhode Island. He'll do enough to keep UConn within this massive number Saturday.
Yes, take Syracuse and lay all of those points. Consider this ... the Huskies defense is giving up 9.62 yards per play, and just gave up 8.87 yards per play and 550 total yards to Rhode Island. And they're going to stop the tempo-based, high-octane Orange offense that suddenly has confidence after it throttled Florida State? Ha ... no.
