The UCF Knights are 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the American Athletic Conference following a 41-19 victory over the SMU Mustangs this past Wednesday. John Rhys Plumlee passed for 316 yards with a pair of touchdowns to help lead the Knights to the 22-point victory.

Javon Baker is the leading receiver with 395 yards and two touchdown receptions. On defense, linebacker Jason Johnson is the leading tackler with 41. UCF has 11 quarterback sacks and two interceptions.

The UNDER is a solid choice here, but the play is the UCF Knights. UCF will face a tough defense for Temple that is allowing an average of only 16.8 points per game, but the Knights will score enough to cover the number. Temple’s offense is as bad as its defense is good, scoring an average of only 14.8 points per game and will face a UCF defense that is allowing only 14.6 points per game. Temple has failed to cover the number in nine of its last 12. Final Score Prediction, UCF Knights win and do not cover ATS 24-3.
