Air Force vs UConn Preview
The Falcons have lost a lot of close games this year, but they can still secure Bowl eligibility with a few tough wins down the stretch.
Meanwhile, UConn has played up and down against its competition all season. Joe Fagnano is an elite quarterback (25 touchdowns, zero interceptions). The Huskies have played three max-effort games, including their best effort of the season against Duke last week.
But if you’ve looked at what happens the week after those big performances, the Huskies have struggled. They laid an egg against Delaware, played down to Ball State, and struggled against Buffalo in the weeks after big ACC wins. Additionally, after beating Boston College on the road earlier this year, UConn lost outright to Rice as 10-point favorites the next week.
I like Air Force’s offense. Liam Szarka has been controlling the offense. The ground game was effective against San Jose State.
The Falcons peaked around this time last season, and they should be able to run the ball effectively against UConn’s ineffective rush defense, which is unfamiliar with Air Force’s scheme.
This is a significant trouble spot for the Huskies.
Pick: Air Force ML (+230, bet365)
