The Connecticut Huskies host the Baylor Bears and OffshoreInsiders.com has
the official preview for sports
betting and college football spread picks. Sportsbooks have UConn as a 12-point
favorite and a total of 51.

Each team is 1-1 against the spread with both playing a
non-lined game. This is Baylor’s first road game, but no look-ahead as they
have a bye next week. After getting smashed by Wake
Forest in week 1, they disposed of Northwestern
State and Washington
State by combined 96-23.

Connecticut
is 3-0 including a win at rebuilt Temple
and by 35 to Virginia. They are
averaging 40 points in two home games, while allowing 7.3.

The Huskies are led by eight returning starters on defense
from last year’s Big East title. Baylor has been buoyed by Robert Griffin
entering the line-up at QB, but it’s an understatement to say this is his
biggest test in his young career so far. He rushed for 217 yards and threw for
129 to Washington State.

Connecticut
is also led by a Young Turk in Donald Brown II. He rushed for 206 yards and
caught five passes against Virginia.
He has rushed for more than 800 yards in his first two seasons, but Bob Warner
of Lines-Maker.com has close contact
with several NFL draft gurus who tell him this appears to be Brown’s breakout
year.

Baylor winning on the moneyline at BetUs Sportsbook would be
a huge upset. Connecticut has won
nine straight home games, while Baylor has one road win the last two years. The
UConn Huskies margin of victory in the nine games is 20.8 points per game.

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says that
Baylor QB Griffin is similar to South Florida’s Matt
Grothe and West Virginia’s Pat
White, so the Huskies experienced defense is not entering uncharted waters.

less than 20 points last game. On the other hand, they are 9-24 off spread wins
and 3-14 against teams with a winning record.

The Huskies are 28-12 outside the Big East, but 2-9 after
getting more than 200 yards rushing last game. They have dropped four straight
against teams with a winning record.

while the Huskies have gone under the sportsbook

It’s time for the official bettor’s preview of tonight’s West
Virginia and Colorado
battle. Sportsbooks have West
Virginia a three-point favorite with a total of 56.5.

The road favorite West Virginia
can certainly be beaten. East Carolina held Heisman
candidate QB Pat White to 72 yards passing and 97 rushing.

While Colorado
is 2-0 straight up, they needed a late pick six to defeat Eastern
Washington 31-24. West Virginia
is allowing 392.5 yards per game. However, they will get back a key player
tonight, MLB Reed Williams. How good is he? He was last year’s leading tackler
and MVP in the Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma.

WR Wes Lyons will also likely play for the Mountaineers. West
Virginia will face their toughest test defensively
against the pass says ScoresOddsPicks.com’s Brian Gould.

As far as over/under NCAA trends, West
Virginia has exceeded the posted total at a 13-3 rate
off a loss of 20 or more. They’ve gone under 19-7 on the road versus teams with
a winning home record.

The Buffalos have gone over five straight after allowing

a peek in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Eagles were the only NFC East team to miss the playoffs last season, but
they served notice about a resurgence when they
slapped the Rams 38-3 in Week 1. Philly, though, will get a much tougher test
on Monday night when they battle the Cowboys.

Dallas beat Cleveland
28-10 on the road in Week 1, and even though they flamed out in the playoffs
last season they’re still the favorites to win the NFC this year. And the
oddsmakers like the Cowboys’ chances of tagging the Eagles with a loss on
Monday night, as they’ve been listed as 6.5-point home favorites (with the
total at 46.5 points).

The Cowboys, though, will be specifically looking to avoid a repeat of last
year’s matchup with the Eagles in Dallas.
Tony Romo and company fell 10-6 to Philadelphia
in that game, despite the fact that they were listed as big 10-point home
favorites. Overall Dallas and Philadelphia
are tied with five ATS wins apiece over their last 10 meetings.
