The Myrtle Beach bowl starts the day off at 2:30 eastern and we will take the points with Connecticut who has covered all 5 non conference games and 6 of 7 after putting less than 170 yards. They are 6-6 but have played a tougher schedule than Marshall. . The Huskies defense is not bad considering they played teams like Michigan, Syracuse and NC.ST before their starting Qb went out. Now for the tech stuff. Bowl teams who won 3 or less games last season have covered 44 of 51 long term vs a team that had won 5 or more and that opponent is not off a big spread loss. First year coaches like Mora have covered 10 of 14 bowls when taking 10 or ore while First year coaches have not done well when laying double digits. Finally December bowl favorites of 7 or more with a total that is 43 or less have failed to cover the only 3 occurrences. For all the above reasons we will back Connecticut
