UCF Knights vs West Virginia Mountaineers prediction
The UCF Knights already beat West Virginia by 13 points a little less than a month ago, and they’ve shown us far more life overall this season. The West Virginia Mountaineers continue to pile up the losses, their offense is a mess, and they’re 8-7 SU at home. WVU just doesn’t bring that juice they’ve brought in years past, and the defense even lacks energy most nights. UCF is the better team and we’re only laying a bucket. Give me the Knights and the small number.
