The matchup
UConn closed out its last two weeks with a 35-16 win over Massachusetts Minutemen and a 34-20 win over Temple Owls, sandwiched around a rough stretch that included a 41-42 loss to Syracuse Orange and a 21-24 loss to Miami (OH) RedHawks. Before that skid, UConn ran Southern Miss Golden Eagles off the field 48-20. The Huskies have outscored opponents 249-167 on the season.
Air Force has been the steadier team through seven weeks, winning four of its last five before Wyoming Cowboys beat the Falcons 14-28 last time out. Air Force's other recent results read well: a 41-31 win over UNLV Rebels, a 28-7 win over Northern Illinois Huskies, a 14-9 win over Navy Midshipmen and a 36-33 win over Nevada Wolf Pack. The Falcons have outscored opponents 199-146 on the year.
Key matchups
This one comes down to which team's defense travels better. Air Force has allowed just 146 points across seven games, the kind of number that keeps a team in close contests like the 14-9 win over Navy. UConn's defense has been solid too, giving up 167 points, but the Huskies have leaned more on scoring, putting up 249 points so far.
UConn's offense showed it can hang points in a hurry with 48 against Southern Miss and 35 against Massachusetts. Air Force's offense has been more grind-it-out, with four of its five wins decided by one score or a tight single-digit margin, a sign this Falcons team wins close rather than blowing teams out.
The pick
Air Force Falcons are favored by 1.0 point with a total of 51.5, and the market score has it Air Force 26, UConn Huskies 25. That lines up with how both teams have played: Air Force grinding out close wins at home, UConn capable of scoring in bunches but coming off two losses by a combined margin that shows it can be had defensively. Call this one a coin flip that tips slightly toward the home team.
