Result: Win
This is a 10* ART OF WAR on Central Florida.

UCF has been a disaster for bettors to start the year, but I think the Knights keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe as they finally get off the ATS schneid and at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch with what I feel is a healthy amount of points affored to them in this spot. This is the start of a big road trip for Detroit and I think it comes in a bit flat footed in the opener; note that this game will be the first of an eight day road trip which covers more than 7,000 miles for the Titans. With no prior history against each other, I think it's important to look at each team's "situation" closely. Detroit is coming off a 77-68 loss to No. 11 Wichita State on Saturday and actually owned a 54-44 lead with 11:54 remaining; the Titans though would choke and the Shockers would use a closing 33-14 run to secure the victory. Suffice it to say, I think this sets up as a classic letdown spot for the visitors. UCF will clearly come in as the "hungrier" team, it's coming off a third-straight setback, a very lacklustre 54-41 loss to visiting Florida Atlantic on Saturday night. The Knights actually had a 26-25 half time lead, but would go on to have an atrocious second half. But as I always like to say, desperation breeds motivation and I think Central Florida comes in focused on the task at hand. Note that Detroit is 13-20 ATS in its last 33 when playing the role of favorite, while UCF is 4-3 ATS after three or more consecutive SU losses. While I obviously believe the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can; play on CENTRAL FLORIDA.
