Money Line: -118.00 Knights (UCF) (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -118.00 Knights (UCF) (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Central Florida - Moneyline
1) I like the Central Florida Knights to win this game against the Florida Gators on Saturday, October 5th. The line is in the -1.5 range and for my money the better value is therefore with the money line in the -115 to -120 range as the likelihood the 1 point factor comes into play is quite slim but I do not want to risk losing this play if UCF wins by only 1 point.
2) Revenge game from the last meetings as Florida lost that one. However, revenge can be over-played and of course Central Florida wants this early season big battle just as much. The Knights did not look good against Colorado last week but they actually outgained the Buffaloes yet still ended up losing the game big. That insures proper focus here and they catch the Gators off a bye week but Florida has shown some weaknesses early this season in particular with run defense.
3) You can see how strong this UCF offense is by the fact they have gained more yardage against every opponent this season that the opponent has allowed in any other game this season! The Knights will attack this struggling Florida defense. I expect the Knights to respond after the loss to the Buffaloes in which they perhaps overlooked Colorado and were thinking ahead to this game. This means a little more to UCF as the little brother in the state compared to teams like Florida State and Florida. The Gators bigger concern, on the other hand, is SEC action. Road team rolls!
T.M. Prediction: 35-27 Central Florida.
Line: -115
