Connecticut Huskies vs Syracuse Orange Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

The UConn Huskies have surprisingly racked up 7 victories this season and will be heading to a bowl game for the first time since for just the second time since the 2015 St. Petersburg Bowl. UConn has really pieced things together nicely lately, winning 3 in a row while going 1-0-2 against the spread at most shops. Defense has been a major reason for the turnaround of this team, as it allows just 338.1 total yards per game, with 200.9 passing yards and 137.2 rushing yards per contest. UConn is also allowing only 21.3 ppg, so don’t look for it to be fazed in a trip to Syracuse.

The Orange have excelled under new head coach Fran Brown and they, too, will be bowling in 2024. Syracuse is coming off an impressive 33-25 win at Cal, its seventh of the season, and it is unbeaten in 4 home games. It is 2-2 ATS in those 4 home games and 0-2 ATS as a double-digit favorite, which is what I’m keying on here. Meanwhile, UConn hasn’t been an underdog since Oct. 19 against Wake Forest, and it is 1-1 ATS in the past 2 games as an underdog while cashing in its only road game of the season as a double-digit ‘dog at Duke on Sept. 14 (losing 26-21 when catching 17 points). I’m siding with the Huskies to keep this within single-digits.
