POINT TRAIN NC State at Connecticut – Thursday, 7:30PM EST
WAGER – NC STATE -14
RATING – Beer & Pizza
· We are going against the line move here as this number opened with the Wolfpack favored by -16.5 points but has since been bet down to -14.
· Consider this though. These teams played last season and NC State was favored by 38-points and won 41-10. The Pack dominated with 29 first downs to just 8, nearly 400-total yards to just 160.
· NC State returns 7 starters on offense and 5 on defense. They also have Virginia QB transfer Brennan Armstrong under center who threw for over 4,440-yards with 31 TD’s to 10 INT’s two years ago for the Cavaliers. He’s now reunited with former UVA offensive coordinator Robert Anae so expect this Wolfpack offense to hum.
· UConn made strides last year under head coach Jim Mora, winning 5 of their last eight games, but they still have a way to go.
· The Husky were 94th in points per drive scored last season and ranked 69th in scoring defense giving up an average of 28.2PPG. Those rankings/statistics also came against a weak schedule.
· One negative here is the fact that NC State has a big game on deck against Notre Dame, but with this being the first game of the season we don’t expect them to look past this UConn team.
