Best Bet: Utah Utes +10 @ Central Florida Knights

We’re going to take the Utah Utes +10 here on the road against the UCF Knights. Look this line is just wrong in my opinion. Not that I think Utah is good WHATSOEVER, but this Central Florida team is horrible. When you have two terrible teams playing each other, you try to find an edge on which team may be more motivated. Especially in a spot like this where technically neither team has anything to play for, with both coming in 4-7. If you have followed the Utah Utes at all you’d know that Kyle Whittingham is BELOVED in that community and he’s been their guy for decades. However, at his age and after this disaster of a season there’s real talk that this will be his final game as the Utah head coach. There are rumors wirling that he will retire after the end of this game. That’s a HUGE motivating factor to his players who LOVE playing for him.

Meanwhile, UCF has been one of the biggest disappoinments in the country after a 4-0 start. Add in the fact that Gus Malzan is known to rub his guys the wrong way. Additionally, there is only ONE game all year UCF has covered this number in conference play and it was against the 2nd worst team in the conference, the Arizona Wildcats. This Utah team still has talent defensively, and they haven’t been blown out every game. They’ve been very competitive in a number of spots, especially in more meaningful games (think back to the BYU game where they had the game won and were robbed).

So this spot is great for Utah, and this line is just off. We’re taking the points and we’re going to sprinkle on the ML too because I think Utah is GOING TO WIN THIS GAME OUTRIGHT

Official Pick: Utah +10 | Utah +300

Play Rating: 4-Star | 1 unit on ML
