College Football Betting Trends
Florida Atlantic
FAU has hit the over in five of their last six road games but have hit the under in four of their last five against a team with a winning record.
Central Florida
UCF is 10-1 with the under in their last 11 games following a bye and 21-4-1 with the under in their last 26 games in September.
Prediction:
While each team has been able to showcase offense this season, the total just seems far too great for this game. A lot of things have to go right to push toward 80 points between the two squads. FAU struggled to move the ball against Oklahoma and the Knights have a very strong defense that should give the Owls some trouble.
College Football Prediction: FAU/UCF Under 75
