UCF vs Cincinnati College Football Betting Analysis
Central Florida showed that it can dominate a really bad team like the Connecticut Huskies in their last. However, the jury is still out on whether the Knights can hang with a team of Cincinnati’s caliber.
Pittsburgh upset Central Florida 35-34 a couple of games ago. The Knights entered that matchup a -9 road favorite. The key for this game on Friday night could be the venue. Last season, UCF rolled over the Bearcats 38-13. Cincinnati has a tendency to fold on the road.
They’re 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, though. The Bearcats should use their decent defense to at least slow down the Central Florida Knights. If the offense truly did switch to “on” in the last contest against Marshall, Cincinnati should also put way more than 13 points on the board. Bearcats to cover is the play.
