Ole Miss vs. UCF Prediction

I’m backing Ole Miss here as I think they’ve earned the benefit of the doubt and I’m not sure why they’re such a big underdog here. Even if UCF wins this game I could see it being a 2-3 point game. Both of these teams have won their fair share of close games as of late and I think this one could be tight as a vice as well. Give me Ole Miss and the points.
