Florida A&M vs. UCF Forecast: Betting Line، Odds & Pick

he self proclaimed National Champions will be in action on Thursday night. The UCF Knightshave gone 25-1 over the last two seasons and own one bowl victory over Auburn. They have not been granted access to the playoff because of their weak schedule. With that being said, they open their season against the Florida A&M Rattlers.

UCF finished their season 12-1 in 2018. They took home their second straight American Conference Championship, but were handed a 40-32 loss by LSU in the Fiesta Bowl. The Knights were without quarterback McKenzie Milton after he suffered a gruesome leg injury.

Week one of the college football season is usually a cupcake week for the nation’s top teams. This is no different for No. 17 UCF. According to Fanduel Sportsbook, the Knights will jog onto the field on Thursday night as 47.5-point favorites.

Even with Milton on the sidelines, this is an offensive powerhouse. The Knights averaged 523.5 yards per game last season. On average, they gained 6.9 yards per play. These are eye-opening offensive numbers. The Knights run game was one of the best in the nation in 2018. They ran for 266.1 yards per game. UCF head coach Josh Heupel named Notre Dame transfer Brandon Wimbush as the starting quarterback. He added that true freshman Dillon Gabriel will play in the first half against Florida A&M. This is something to keep an eye on if you are thinking about laying 47.5 points with the Knights.
