Central Florida at Connecticut

Central Florida is off an unbeaten season and ranked in the top 25 again, led by a talented defense. They will lean on that defense in Week 1 as the offense has some holes to fill, losing last year's #1 receiver Tre'Quan Smith and tight end Jordan Akins, both of whom left early for the NFL Draft. The Knights are on a 5-2 run UNDER the total away from home and they head to a rebuilding Connecticut squad. The Huskies are learning a new offensive playbook as coordinator Rhett Lashlee left for SMU and they bring in John Dunn from the Chicago Bears. Last fall the Connecticut offense averaged 23.6 points to rank #103 in FBS and there are questions on a young, remodeled offensive line and at running back. UConn is on a 14-6 run UNDER the total at home and this Week 1 total is too high. Play the UNDER.
