UConn at Michigan picks and predictions
Prediction
Michigan 52, UConn 10
Cash line
PASS.
This is among the largest spreads on the Saturday slate. If you’ll find cash line odds, don’t take them. As we realized final week, upsets occur, and that is an skilled UConn aspect.
Towards the unfold
BET UCONN +47.5 (-110).
There may be a particularly small probability that UConn may even make this aggressive. That ought to be apparent. The Huskies gained’t have the ability to deal with Michigan’s pace out huge or dimension within the trenches.
However, what they do have ought to propel a canopy. Sophomore beginning RB Nathan Carter has 384 yards in 3 video games and 6.5 yards per carry common. Turner can be an improve, throwing for 4 TDs and three INTs.
The Wolverines took off the gasoline early within the third quarter towards Hawaii, they usually’ll doubtless do the identical right here. Michigan truly was outscored within the third quarter regardless of operating for over 250 yards within the recreation.
Michigan’s expertise is unmatched, however merely put, this unfold is just too excessive for a UConn group that solely added expertise and has nearly all of gamers coming back from a season in the past.
Michigan did not cowl towards Hawaii, it’s solely time being greater than 40-point favorites this season. It solely has two 50-point wins (nearly what it will must cowl) since 2017.
Over/Below
BET OVER 60.5 (-110).
Regardless of having put up 50-plus factors in each matchups this season, Michigan has but to hit the over. UConn is simply 1-2 O/U as properly this season.
Nonetheless, it did simply permit 48 factors to Syracuse, so it’s protection clearly isn’t among the many more difficult. UConn has allowed greater than 30 factors in each video games towards Division 1 sides.
I anticipate Michigan to once more have its means in one more blowout. The Wolverines have constantly topped 50, and there’s no cause to consider they gained’t hit that mark once more.
With UConn having a 3-star freshman below middle, the extra expertise he will get the higher he ought to be as properly. The combo of Turner and Carter ought to get no less than a couple of factors on the board.
