This is one of my favorite Week 5 plays. My projections show 42 points scored, giving us a nice cushion below this total. In simulations, the Under is hitting 70 percent of the time. With 51 being a key number, I'm playing this right now.

As evidenced the past two weeks, the Huskies aren’t the type of team you want to back as a favorite. Their choppy, rugged style tends to make for close games, providing value on the underdog. They failed to cover against both Virginia and Syracuse while splitting the straight-up outcome. But UConn should flip the script against Greg Ward and the potent Cougars. Forcing them to earn their points with long drives and limiting big plays, while generating some clock-milking drives of their own, should allow the Huskies to cover this massive number.
