SMU is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. The over is 5-1 in SMU’s last 6 games. UCF is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. The under is 21-8 in UCF’s last 29 home games.

UCF comes into this game after winning three of their last four games and is currently tied for 3rd place in the AAC standings. SMU has lost two of their last three games and has failed to score more than 57 points in those two losses. UCF is a much better defensive team and they are allowing about 11 points fewer per game than SMU is. I like UCF in this matchup.
