#378 ASA PLAY ON Connecticut -16.5 over Temple, Saturday at 3:30 PM ET - UConn is rolling right now to say the least. They are coming off a 47-3 blowout win over Buffalo last week. A week earlier they rolled FAU here at home 48-14. In their 3 games at home the Huskies have scored 158 for an average of 52 PPG. The 2 teams they just destroyed here we have both rated better than this Temple squad who we have rated in the bottom 10 nationally. The Owls may be without their starting QB Simon who injured his shoulder in last week’s 48-14 home loss vs Army. Their back up QB Brock has an injured wrist so there is a chance this bad Owls offense (119th in total offense) will be down to their 3rd string signal caller. In their 2 road games this season, Temple has been outscored 89-14. Their rush defense ranks 131st allowing 261 YPG on 5.9 YPC. That won’t cut it here vs this UConn running game that is up to 12th nationally averaging 245 YPG and they’ve rushed for a ridiculous 1,300+ yards in their 3 home games. UConn starting QB Evers left last week’s blowout win with an injury but back up Fagnano is a better passer and has played plenty this season. He makes this offense even tougher to defend in our opinion. He came in last week, let the Huskies to 34 of their 47 points, had over 200 yards passing and 3 TDs. We were on UConn last week in an easy win and we’re not back off this money train this week. They’ve covered their last 4 games by an average of 29 points above and beyond the spread and we anticipate another easy win on Saturday vs a bad Temple team.
