Connecticut (2-0 SU, 1-1 ATS) equaled its 2014 record for wins and got off to its first 2-0 start since 2008 by squeaking past Army 22-17 in Week 2. The Huskies failed to cover the spread as 7-point home favorites but got a nice measure of revenge after falling to the Black Knights 35-21 at Yankee Stadium last season.
Quarterback Bryant Shirreffs completed 19 of 25 passes for 270 yards and UConn touchdown runs from Ron Johnson and Arkeel Newsome in the win.
“All we want to do is win,” said Shirreffs. “It’s, I guess, what we expect. But, it’s really good to see what you envision become a reality.”



Game Analysis
53 percent of the betting public like Missouri to cover the huge spread as home favorites while 57 percent also like the Over play against the game’s 42.5-point Over/Under Total. I’m going with the betting public with my pick for Missouri to narrowly cover the spread in this Week 3 showdown. The Tiers have the best quarterback in this pairing and a far superior roster of players, not to mention the edge in coaching.
