Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Le Moyne vs. UConn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
Le Moyne opened the season with a near-miss at the Syracuse Orange Nov. 4, losing 86-82 while easily covering as a 22-point underdog as the Over (151.5) cashed. It lost 97-75 against the Cal State Northridge Matadors in the home opener, before topping SUNY Poly 107-73 last time out.
The 2-time defending national champ Huskies have scored 92 points in each win so far, pounding the Sacred Heart Pioneers and the New Hampshire Wildcats, while covering both games as a favorite of 35.5 or more points.

Le Moyne at UConn picks and predictions
Prediction
UConn 91, Le Moyne 57
Moneyline
There was no moneyline at the time of publishing, but it wouldn’t be worth pursuing even if one is released before tipoff.
Against the spread
It takes a little bit of a leap of faith, but back LE MOYNE +37.5 (-102) with the points.
The Dolphins are a little more talented than the tomato cans UConn -37.5 (-120) has faced to date, and Le Moyne nearly pulled off the outright shocker against neighbor Syracuse in the opener Nov. 4. It won’t be fazed against the Huskies, and at least Le Moyne doesn’t have to go to Gampel Pavilion.
Over/Under
UNDER 150.5 (-110) is a solid play in this battle in Hartford.
While the Dolphins are expected to cover, they certainly aren’t going to threaten to win this game outright, and the offense is going to be choppy for most of the game against the 2-time defending champs. UConn has been stingy on defense, and nothing about that is expected to change.
