Historical Betting Results
2024: URI beat CCSU 21–17, covered spread.
URI consistently hits the over due to offensive firepower.
CCSU games trend close but often fail to cover against ranked opponents.
Projected Score: Rhode Island 35 – Central Connecticut 18
Reasoning: URI’s balanced attack (282 pass yds, 143 rush yds per game) and top-20 defense (19.2 PA/G) overwhelm CCSU’s mid-tier NEC defense. Olson and Howard will keep CCSU competitive early, but URI’s depth and Buchanan’s receiving threat tilt the game late.
