We have the official betting preview of Connecticut and Louisville. The sportsbooks have Louisville a 3.5 point favorite with a total of 51.5. Connecticut is 4-0 straight up, but just 1-2 against the spread going over 2-of-3. The Cardinals are 2-1 straight up and 1-1 to the Vegas betting odds.

The Huskies have been very successful on offense getting 5.8 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.7. Their defensive numbers are average, allowing 4.5 yards per play to teams normally getting 4.6.

That describes the Louisville offense: average. They get 5.4 yards per play to teams allowing that same amount. This is not your Petrino’s Cardinals. Their strength is on defense, allowing 1.9 yards per rush to teams normally getting 3.8 and 5.7 yards per pass to teams normally getting 6.1. That comes out to giving up 4.2 yards per play against teams normally allowing 5.1.

For those who bet college football quarter lines, note that Louisville fades late. They’ve allowed 27 points combined in the first three quarters, but 39 in the final quarter.

Keep in mind that this is only the Huskies second road game of the year, while Louisville has yet to play a road contest making this their fourth straight home game.

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says the key for Louisville is to be more careful with the ball. Their signal caller Tyler Lorenzen has already thrown six interceptions.

Who should one bet? The founder of the revolutionary science of forensic sports handicapping Stevie Vincent is absolutely unloading on this game. It’s his Friday Night Big East Game of Two Centuries.

As far as Vegas betting trends are concerned, all records are against the spread: Louisville is 9-1 at home to opponents who average more than 200 rushing yards per game. They are 18-6 on the road after two straight nonconference games. The Cardinals are 20-8 after getting more than 200 yards rushing last game.

UConn is 8-2 on grass.

The No. 1 USC Trojans will be looking to hold on to that lofty ranking on Thursday night when they go to Oregon State to battle the Beavers. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Trojans are coming off a convincing 35-3 win over Ohio State which solidified their No. 1 ranking. USC quarterback Mark Sanchez went 17-of-28 for 172 yards passing in that contest, with four TD strikes and one interception. Oregon State is coming off a 45-7 win over Hawaii, but that was their first victory in three attempts this season. Lyle Moevao threw for 268 yards and three scores for the Beavers against the Warriors.

The oddsmakers don’t expect the Trojans/Beavers matchup to be close; USC has been pegged as a 25.5-point favorite. The other game on the college football docket for Thursday is expected to be a bit tighter, as Tulane is favored by 18 points versus SMU.
