Why bet on UConn versus Utah State?

Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Jim Mora Jr. took the HC job at Connecticut. The first thing Mora did was convince former Penn State quarterback Ta’Quan Roberson to transfer to UConn. Roberson has some skills. Also, the last time he played he faced Iowa’s excellent defense. The Aggies allowed 392 yards per game last season. So Roberson should move the ball.

Utah State Aggies versus UConn Huskies Final Betting Prediction

Utah State upset San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference Championship. Then in their bowl game, the Aggies beat a Pac-12 team, Oregon State.

Last season’s Utah State squad is similar to this season’s. But the UConn Huskies should be much better in 2022 than they were in 2021.

Mora Jr. knows what he’s doing. The Huskies head coach has won at every stop. He hasn’t developed championship winning teams, but he knows how to create strategies to give his players the best chances of success.

Saturday should be no different. Utah State will blow out UConn and win this around 18 to 24 points. But although the Aggies look great and dominate, they won’t cover the massive spread. UConn gets the nod.
