New Hampshire Wildcats vs UCF Knights Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Picks
The UCF Knights look to kick off their second season in the Big 12 with a bang as they introduce a retooled lineup led by prized quarterback K.J Jefferson against New Hampshire on Thursday at FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando, Florida. After overachieving in their debut season in the Big 12, UCF has set out to achieve more milestones this year with a much more talented roster. The Knights will be banking on their new quarterback, KJ Jefferson, to take their offence to another level. A mix of young and seasoned targets, such as wide receivers Kobe Hudson, Ja’varrius Johnson, and senior tight-end Reece Adkins, will flank him. New Hampshire finished last season with a 4-4 win-loss card in CAA conference play and 6-5 overall. The Wildcats hope to compete better this coming season with new quarterback Seth Morgan, who will play his first season with his new team as a red-shirt senior after transferring from Virginia Military Institute in 2023. Morgan has completed 452 out of 735 passes in three seasons with VMI for 4,851 yards with 28 touchdowns and 24 interceptions.

Our New Hampshire Wildcats vs UCF Knights Prediction
UCF is favoured to win by 40.5 points on DraftKings, making it one of the biggest point-spreads in the opening week of the 2024-23 college football season. Will the Knights be able to cover such a massive spread? When you have KJ Jefferson, who set numerous records as the No.1 quarterback at Arkansas, winning by as many as 40 points against a mediocre team playing in a weak conference may not be as daunting a task as it looks to be. Last season, the Knights destroyed Kent State by 50 points with John Rhys Plumlee as their opening-night quarterback. Jefferson, who is a far more accomplished signal-caller than Plumlee, has shown in training and scrimmages this summer that he can still be the guy who can lead a program to greater heights with his terrific vision and playmaking skills. He will be more potent this season as UCF surrounds him with players capable of completing his passes downfield. Expect Jefferson to record as many as four touchdowns in this match, with Hudson being his primary target downfield. Our betting prediction for UCF Knights vs. New Hampshire Wildcats: Bet on the Knights to cover -40.5 points, -110, at DraftKings.
