Central Florida has won five in a row and nine of 11, unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference. They come off a 48-45 victory over East Carolina and have allowed 41, 53, and 45 points in three of the last four. B.J. Taylor had 19 points the last contest in his first game back from injury after missing seven games. The Knights also allow only 57.1 points per game, second-fewest in the nation, which is why this total is set so low here. Central Florida is 9-2 ATS against a team with a losing straight up record, and Connecticut hasn't recovered from a slew of early-season injuries, losing four in a row. They've scored 59 and 61 points the last two games, so this one also looks to challenge the low total. The Huskies are 9-23-1 ATS after a spread loss. Play Central Florida and OVER the total.
