UConn Looking For First Power Conference Win

The UConn Huskies are 7-3 so far this season as FBS independents and have won three games in a row coming into this weekend. But they are 0-3 against teams from power conferences, losing to Maryland, Duke, and Wake Forest already this season. They will look to break their losing streak against power conference foes this week in Syracuse. To do that, UConn's offense will need to wake up, as they have failed to score over 21 points against a power conference opponent in three tries.

Can Syracuse Get Second Straight Victory?

It has been an up-and-down year for Syracuse, as they enter this game at 7-3 overall and 4-3 in the ACC. Syracuse has alternated between wins and losses over each of their last five games, entering this contest off of a win against NC State. They will look to break that trend and get a second win in a row here to move to 8-3 on the year. To do that, Syracuse will rely on its passing attack, which ranks third in all of college football with 350.7 yards per game through the air.

UConn vs Syracuse Pick & Prediction

Syracuse is a dangerous passing team, but their lack of balance is a concern heading into UConn vs Syracuse on Saturday afternoon. We don't expect UConn to win this game outright as a double-digit underdog, but we will take the points with the Huskies, as they should be able to keep this game within single-digits on the road against a one-dimensional Syracuse offense.
