Trends

UCF is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games and 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss. The over is 7-1-1 in UCF’s last 9 games. Tulsa is 15-35-2 ATS in their last 52 games and 2-10-2 ATS in their last 14 home games. The over is 11-5 in Tulsa’s last 16 games. The home team is 19-6-1 ATS in these two teams last 26 head to head meetings.

Pick

Tulsa comes into this game as one of the worst teams in the country and only has one conference win this season. UCF has lost three games in a row and has allowed 82 points and 73 points in their last two games. Neither team shoots the ball very well, but Tulsa is allowing 77.9 points against per game on defense. I expect UCF to bounce back with an impressive offensive showing in this game. I like the over here.
