Why the UCF Knights will win

Wisconsin-Milwaukee vs Central Florida Prediction

The UCF Knights are the more talented team and should win, but their defensive effort isn’t the same as it’s been in the past, and this is a letdown spot after games against Wisconsin and LSU. The Milwaukee Panthers are also playing good ball with wins in four straight games and their offense is rolling. Milwaukee has the scoring ability to give UCF a run for its money. I’ll take my chances with the Panthers and the points on Wednesday.
