UCF vs Kansas Prediction

In this UCF vs Kansas prediction, Kansas is coming as -2.5 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical records this season and both have not been in good form lately, as they both have a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. Both teams have good numbers both on the offensive and the defensive end this season, but both defenses have been struggling lately, as UCF has given up 114 points in its last three games combined and Kansas 35+ in two of its last four games. As a result, they are 6-2 to the over in their last 8 games combined and I expect a sloppy high-scoring affair in Kansas today. Take the over 48.5 points in this one.
