The Gold Sheet

THE PLAY: Connecticut -7.5 (-110)

You don't mention "revenge" and "UConn Football" in the same sentence very often, but this is a nice spot for the Huskies to get some revenge on the Panthers. Georgia State earned a 35-14 win as a 2.5-point home favorite last season, but the Panthers are on a four-game losing streak heading into their trip to Hartford. This will be Georgia State's third-straight road game (no bye), and the Panthers have taken some lumps this season. With the benefit of some hindsight and context, Georgia State has played a really tough schedule for first-year head coach Dell McGee. Both of the Panthers' bye weeks came before the first week of October, which means they have to close the year with eight-straight games. After this non-conference clash with UConn, Georgia State still has to go to James Madison, Texas State and host Coastal Carolina. If you were going to prioritize your remaining games, this non-conference trip to Connecticut is probably pretty far down on the list. This should be a good opportunity for the Huskies to get some revenge for last year's defeat as the Panthers need to focus on the Sun Belt pecking order. We make this spread closer to UConn -10.
