On Friday, November 1, 2024, college football fans get welcomed to some unusual Fall weather. The Georgia State Panthers take on the Connecticut Huskies tonight.

This game comes as Connecticut’s last home game of the 2024 season. After this week, the Huskies play their final three regular-season games on the road. Georgia State continues on the road next week versus James Madison.

The Connecticut Huskies are 7.5-point favorites over the Georgia State Panthers, with the over/under set at 50.5 points, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The game will be on CBS Sports Network, with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT.

Georgia State vs Connecticut Prediction

Connecticut is one tough team to figure out. Yes, they are 5-3, but the Independent has lost some tough games against ACC foes that were winnable. Maryland blew out the Huskies in their season opener. However, Jim Mora’s squad has looked much better since. Defensively, they allow a mere 20.4 points per game.

The Huskies run the ball a lot. Last week, against Rice, Connecticut had 44 rushing attempts. They ate up a lot of clock in the 17-10 win. Now, the Huskies amassed 181 yards on the ground. It will be their preferred mode of attack on this night, as the Panthers give up almost 200 yards a contest (5.7 a carry).

Durell Robinson, a Freshman, showed more of his game-breaking speed last week in the Rice victory. Despite only 15 rushing attempts, Robinson wound up with 132 yards and a touchdown. He averages 7.6 yards per attempt, and his ability to break tackles makes him a threat.

Georgia State On A Road Bender

Yes, Georgia State continues to play on the road. This is the third of four consecutive road games for the Panthers. So far, they lost to Marshall and Appalachian State. Overall, Georgia State started 2-1 in 2024 but has dropped four games in a row. They are currently 0-4 in the Sun Belt Conference.

The Panthers do not score a lot of points. Georgia State only averages 21.9 points per game while allowing 30.7. That -8.8 point differential is interesting.

The one worry with Connecticut is whether Nick Evers or Joe Fagnano can avoid mistakes. Last week, there were a few close calls on the ground, and an interception kept Rice in the game. Fagnano does have the experience. However, Connecticut does score more points per game, with Evers under center.

I’m predicting a narrow Huskies win and cover. Expect Connecticut to run the ball early and often on what could be a breezy night.

Georgia State vs Connecticut Spread

College football Week 10 spreads are out for Georgia State vs Connecticut and all those big early Saturday afternoon contests.

The First Quarter Spread Is 2.5. A good and fun lesson is to expect a tight game early here but for Connecticut to run the ball and gain a lead. Controlling the clock and keeping the Georgia State defense on the field will be vital here. Expect to see even more of Durell Robinson in this one. That -108 number is attractive here.

Naturally, there has been line movement: This game ranged primarily in the 7 to 8.5-point range. The spread money leans heavily toward the Huskies, with 86% of the betting percentage and 91% of the dollars.

Bettors seem to like the current 7.5-point number even more.

Georgia State vs Connecticut Head-to-Head

The programs have met only once, with the following result:

  • Sep 9, 2023: Georgia State 35, Connecticut 14

The only meeting was last year when Georgia State defeated Connecticut at home. However, do not expect a one-sided result this time around. As we mentioned above, the running game will be vital in this contest, along with holding on to the football.

Sometimes, these games do jolt the system in a way. The weather will be a factor, with temperatures dropping from the 70s in the afternoon to the 50s as the game continues from Storrs tonight.
