The Army Black Knights aim to secure their third consecutive bowl win when they face a Connecticut Huskies squad dealing with recent departures in Saturday’s Fenway Bowl.
Given Army’s preferred style of play and UConn’s loss of several key offensive pieces, I’m backing the Under in my UConn vs. Army predictions.
Let’s take a closer look at how bettors should approach the Fenway Bowl in my college football picks for Saturday, December 27.
UConn vs Army predictions for the Fenway Bowl
Who will win the Fenway Bowl?
If there’s one program that doesn’t have to worry about players sitting out a bowl game, it’s the Army Black Knights. The Black Knights will come out on top against a UConn Huskies team that is missing its starting quarterback and head coach.
UConn vs Army best bet: Under 43.5 (-105)
We all know precisely what to expect when it comes to the Army Black Knights football. The Black Knights are committed to their style of play: namely, disciplined offense that runs the ball fairly effectively and rarely puts the ball in the air.
As a result, Army doesn’t tend to score much, averaging just 22.4 ppg this season. But that style also keeps the clock moving and allows the Black Knights to stay in games, as their defense has held opponents to 22.1 ppg on the year.
The UConn Huskies is almost the polar opposite, scoring 36.9 ppg in a pass-first, up-tempo offense. But we’re not going to see the vintage Huskies attack on Saturday, as they’ll be missing the key pieces that led the team to nine regular-season wins.
UConn starting quarterback Joe Fagnano, who threw for 28 touchdowns and just one interception this year, has opted out of the Fenway Bowl. The Huskies will also be without head coach Jim Mora, who has taken a new job at Colorado State.
If there was a thought that UConn would push up the total from where Army normally plays, I can’t see that happening given the team’s current situation. Without that possibility, I’m taking the Under.
UConn vs Army same-game parlay
Because I’m expecting this to be a low-scoring game, I’m also going to take UConn to cover the spread in the Fenway Bowl.
Before the departures from their program, the Huskies likely would have been a slight favorite in this contest, and I think there’s still enough talent on the field to keep this one close – even if Army should be able to win in the end.
UConn vs Army SGP
- Under 43.5
- UConn Huskies +9.5

Army always trends towards lower-scoring games, and the loss of starting quarterback Joe Fagnano should keep the Huskies in check as well.
