In Georgia State’s last non-conference game they pulled off a shocking upset over Vanderbilt, 36-32. That happened to be their last win, as they have lost four straight games in Sun Belt conference play. Take a value spot here on the Panthers as they have been in winnable spots their last three losses. The spread here is just a tad too high on the home team in UConn. Take the points with the Panthers.

This is a classic matchup of teams trending in opposite directions. On the UConn side, the Huskies have made major strides in year three under head coach Jim Mora. UConn has the opportunity to clinch bowl eligibility in front of its home crowd on Friday night. The Panthers have dropped four straight games, with just one of the losses coming in a legitimately competitive game. I like what UConn is doing defensively, and I believe its balanced approach on offense will be the difference on Friday night. I expect this game to be comfortable for UConn, with the Huskies winning by 10+.
