Houston at Connecticut Under 55 Connecticut may not even score here. The Huskies’ offense is that bad and Houston’s defense is that good.

There have been nine conference matchups this season in the ACC and underdogs won five of those games straight-up. I see Georgia Tech making it six underdog winners. […]
