In this UCF vs BYU Prediction, BYU is coming as -17.5-point home favorites. BYU has been the far better team this season and almost perfect, with just one loss in their 11 games played. They have been undefeated at home and have been excellent against the spread with a 7-3 record, while on the flip side, UCF has been winless on the road and in terrible form lately, with a 2-6 record in its last 8 games. BYU is a top-30 team in the country both offensively and defensively and I expect them to win this one comfortably. Take BYU and lay the big number at home.
