UCF vs Nebraska Prediction

UCF won the only H2H so far, but that was back in 2017. I am giving a slight advantage to UCF because of better offense, but Nebraska does have a stronger defense, so it’s going to be a close one. I am going with Over because UCF has hit the Game Total Over in 22 of its last 34 games, while the Knights have hit the Team Total Over in 17 of their previous 27 games.
