Struggling Big 12 opponents will clash on the final Friday of the college football regular season. The Utah Utes and UCF Knights are both 4-7 on the year but only one can get to five wins by taking this game from Orlando. The Knights are nine-point favorites going into this game, while the total has been set at 49.5 points. Here, you will find our college football best bets for Utah vs UCF.
Utah Looks to Snap Seven-Game Losing Streak
The Utah Utes went 4-0 to start this season and have lost seven games in a row since then, all to conference opponents. Utah lost 31-28 to Iowa State in their last outing, which was encouraging despite the end result, as the Utah offense looked somewhat competent without Cam Rising for the first time in a long time. Here, the Utes will look to build on that offensive performance as they try to go into the offseason with a win.
UCF Aims to Finish Strong At Home
UCF has also struggled in the Big 12 this year, going 2-6 in league play. They have lost two games in a row coming into their regular season finale. But they have a great chance to end their season with a win against a Utah team that has been free-falling for around two straight months at this point. UCF has allowed 33 points per game over their last two games, though, and their inconsistent defense could help Utah to hang around in this matchup if the Knights aren’t careful.
Utah vs UCF Betting Pick
We will take the over in the Utah vs UCF game in the Big 12 on Friday night. Utah’s offense has been terrible since Cam Rising was lost to injury earlier in the season. But they looked decent against Iowa State last time out and the UCF defense should help Utah continue to put points on the board in this game, which we expect to be high-scoring in the Bounce House.
