UCF and Cincinnati are set to play in the Big 12 on Saturday. Cincinnati has been one of the best stories in power conference college football this season. They will try to improve to 5-1 with a win here over a UCF team that is struggling in Big 12 competition. Here, I take a closer look at this conference matchup and give you my UCF vs Cincinnati prediction.
Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|
Bearcats –10.5 | Bearcats –425, Knights +320 | 55.5 |
Cincinnati’s Brendan Sorsby has been a dual-threat weapon all season. He enters this week with impressive efficiency numbers, including a 12/1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. As long as he can avoid giving the ball away in this game, Cincinnati should be able to exert its dominance over the Knights.
UCF's Tayven Jackson has shown flashes of brilliance but remains inconsistent. Jackson has generated just three passing touchdowns this season and he will need to be more productive through the air if the Knights are going to come away with an upset win here.
Score Projection: Cincinnati 33 – UCF 17
Win Probability: Cincinnati 78%, UCF 22%
Cincinnati should hold serve at home again in this game. The Bearcats have been dominant at home this year and their only slip-up this season came in a neutral-site game against Nebraska. They should continue to have success here against a UCF team that has fallen flat on its face since the beginning of Big 12 play. I'll lay the points with Cincinnati here, as they should take a big step toward the top 25 by winning this game with some margin.
