UConn +7' ------------------->2 Pimps 
UConn is 18-6 ATS in road games since '99. BC was 0-4-1 ATS at home last year. Orlovsky just might be the most talented QB in college football right now. In BC's first two games, they've played against below average QBs, the kid from Ball St making his first start and the always over-rated, yet always shitty Zach Mills. Not tonight.....Orlovsky is big (6'4" or 6'5" I think), very talented with a rocket for an arm. Not the most mobile, so he'll need to be protected against a good BC defensive line.
BC needs to control the ball on offense and keep Orlovsky off of the field, if they do that, I see a fairly low scoring game, with BC winning in the area of 21-17. If they can't control the clock, I look for Orlovsky to get off....he had a poor performance last week as it was the first time he didn't have a TD pass in 25 games. Being on national TV for the first time with a chance to prove he belongs with the big boys and a high NFL draft pick, I look for him to have a big game. They must do a better job in the red zone, scoring only 6 points on their first 3 trips against Duke. If it becomes a shoot-out, UConn has a good chance to win this outright, in the area of 41-38.
With both defenses playing well, BC trying to control the clock and the threat of rain, I'd lean towards the under here. I think BC, behind a very good O-Line, will control the clock and this will be a BC victory, but not enough to cover the spread.
