Utah vs UCF Prediction

The UCF Knights should be given the edge because they're at home on Senior Day, and they have a roster with 36 seniors. The Utah Utes also haven't won a game since September due to the offense providing little to nothing most weeks. With nothing on the line, we could easily see Utah rollover and look ahead to next season. With all that said, UCF isn't scaring anybody in its current form and while Utah has trouble scoring, this is still a well-coached team that plays hard defensively. We could easily see Utah grind out an ugly game with a chance to win late. Give me the points.
