Prediction
Texas 75, UCF 70

PASS.
At -375 odds, there is no value in betting on Texas, which is 9-1 at home, to beat a UCF team that has yet to win a game on the road.
Against the spread
BET UCF +8.5 (-110).
The Knights have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 and 6 of their last 9. They have also covered in back-to-back games as underdogs. Texas has failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and 6 of their last 10.
