Houston at Connecticut

Randy Edsall's return as head coach at Connecticut hasn't helped as the Huskies are 5-25 straight-up the last three years, including 1-5 and 2-4 ATS this season. Connecticut is ranked #104 on offense and #127 on defense while allowing 40.5 points per game. The Huskies barely beat FCS Wagner in their season opener and have lost five in a row since following Saturday's 49-7 blowout loss at Tulane and they couldn't even cover a 33.5 point spread. The Green Wave outgained the Huskies 634-234 and it racked up 311 yards on the ground. Houston is dealing with the absence of quarterback D'Eriq King, who decided to redshirt, but the Cougars still have some weapons at running back as Kyle Porter ran for 107 yards on 16 carries and Marquez Stevenson had 107 receiving yards in Houston's loss to Cincinnati. The Cougars have covered eight of their last 10 when following an ATS loss and the Huskies are 7-25-3 ATS their last 35 versus teams with losing records. Also, Connecticut is 18-47-2 ATS its last 67 games overall. Lay the points with Houston.
