Randy’s Pick

Two teams on losing streaks, but all losing streaks aren’t the same. The Cincinnati Bearcats have done a lot of their losing at home. Cincinnati also continues to have issues finishing drives offensively and is 104th in pass defense. The UCF Knights have had a tough schedule, but they still took Oklahoma down to the wire, and 3 of its 5 losses during this stretch have come on the road. UCF is horrible defensively, but is the sixth-best total offense and is fourth in rush offense. UCF should win this game. Give me the Knights by a touchdown.
