UConn vs. Florida Atlantic Pick
Spread Pick for UConn vs. FAU
- UConn -7 (4 units)
UConn has won three straight entering this game and has been solid this season. The Huskies have committed just two turnovers all season so they won’t beet themselves. That’s a problem for the Owls, who have coughed the ball over a staggering 22 times while recording only seven takeaways, leaving them -15 in the turnover department this season. Florida Atlantic is in the bottom 10 in the nation in scoring defense and that is going to be an issue facing a very good Huskies offense. Given the way the Huskies are effective on the offensive side of the ball and the fact that they don’t turn the ball over, take them here to up their win streak to four games.
Over/Under Pick for UConn vs. Florida Atlantic
- Under 66.5 (4 units)
UConn has gone over the total in seven of their 11 games on the season entering this contest. The Huskies have gone over the number in three of their five games on the year on the road. They have stayed under the mark in two of their three games entering this contest. Florida Atlantic has seen the over post a 5-5 mark in their 10 games on the year. The Owls have seen the over post a 3-1 mark in their four home games this season. Florida Atlantic has recorded two straight unders entering this game. The Owls self-destruct on a couple drives and the Huskies keep them in check here, keeping this game under the total.
