Middle Tennessee State at Connecticut

Both of these teams have struggled mightily this season, but at least Connecticut finally comes off a win, albeit versus an Ivy League school, 21-15 over Yale. Middle Tennessee has lost four of its last five games, including 41-13 to Liberty as a 20-point underdog. The Blue Raiders managed only 35 yards rushing on 21 carries while allowing 227 to the Flames. They also couldn't contain Liberty's Demario Douglas, who caught six passes for 156 yards. Connecticut actually is 4-1 ATS its last five games, and the Huskies came close to beating Wyoming and Vanderbilt. Steven Krajewski completed 21 of 32 for 199 yards and 2 touchdowns with no picks against Yale. Middle Tennessee is 0-5 ATS its last five games versus Independent schools, and the Blue Raiders are 2-7 ATS their last nine non-conference games. Also, Connecticut has covered four straight as an underdog. Take Connecticut.
