I’m favoring Kansas to win and cover the spread in this game, given their advantage in the passing game over UCF. For this matchup, I recommend taking Kansas at -2.5.
UCF are 2-7 in their L9, and KU are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games at home, and 4-1 in their last 5.
I like the UNDER. Why? Both teams share a penchant for running the football, boasting Top 25 rushing statistics in the nation, which could significantly impact the game’s outcome. The clock is going to be moving, and it’s going to keep on moving.
My model has this one at 53 total points. It’s going to SAIL under the total.
