Free Betting Pick: UCF Knights -23.5
The UCF Knights are coming off a dismantling of the Temple Owls as they put 63 points up on one of the better defenses in the AAC. The UCF Knights have one of the best offenses in college football as they score an average of 46.6 PPG, and that could be problematic for the Houston defense as they rank 97th in points allowed. Houston redshirted their starting QB and WR, and they will also be without their starting RB who is dealing with an injury which is not going to bode well against the Knights. The Knights freshman QB is feeling a sense of confidence after having a big performance last weekend, and he should have no problem repeating that success at home. Final Score Prediction, UCF Knights win and cover ATS 49-21.
