Cincinnati Bearcats vs UCF Knights Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Picks
The Cincinnati Bearcats try to add insult to UCF Knights’ injury on Saturday when they march into the hurricane-ravaged FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Bearcats will attempt to recover from a 44-41 loss to Texas Tech Raiders last week by handing UCF their third straight loss. Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby is having a terrific season, throwing for 1,481 yards with 12 touchdowns and one interception. The Bearcats rank 15th in the nation in passing yards per game (301.2 yards) and 44th in rushing yards per game (183.8). After winning their first three assignments, the UCF Knights got a reality check following losses to Colorado 48-21 and Florida 24-13. Led by their dynamic running back RJ Harvey, UCF boasts the nation's fourth-best running offense in terms of yards per game (282.4 yards). Their passing game has been an afterthought though, as prized quarterback KJ Jefferson hasn’t lived up to his billing, completing only seven touchdowns with four interceptions.

Our Cincinnati Bearcats vs UCF Knights Prediction
UCF's morale is at an all-time low following two humiliating defeats. The Bearcats suffered a significant setback after falling short against Texas Tech, but I feel they are in far better mental shape than the Knights. With pressure mounting, UCF head coach Gus Malzahn is anticipated to implement more plays that emphasize the passing offense. RJ Harvey will continue to generate excellent numbers as he has in the first five games, but the key to success is KJ Jefferson, who desperately needs a huge game to keep his name relevant ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Fortunately for him, the Bearcats are one of college football's worst pass defenses, allowing 206.8 yards per game. Our betting prediction for Cincinnati Bearcats vs. UCF Knights: Back UCF to cover -3.5 points, -105, at Caesars Sportsbook.
