UCF Knights vs TCU Horned Frogs Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Picks
The UCF Knights brace for their first real test as they visit the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The Knights emphatically won their first two games, beating New Hampshire and Sam Houston by an average winning margin of 42.5 points. KJ Jefferson passed the ball more efficiently in the game against Sam Houston, completing 12 of his 15 passes for 169 yards. As expected, UCF’s dynamic running backs crew put on a show, tallying 384 rushing yards with six touchdowns. RJ Harvey continued to back up his claim as the best running back in the nation after he rushed for 126 yards on 19 carries and four touchdowns. The Horned Frogs also posted a 2-0 record after shutting down Long Island 45-0. TCU, who also beat Standford 34-27 in the season opener, will count on quarterback Josh Hoover to sustain his strong start against UCF. Hoover already logged 620 passing yards with four touchdowns, while running back Cam Cook ran for 139 yards on 33 carries with four touchdowns after two games.

Our UCF Knights vs TCU Horned Frogs Prediction
UCF leads the nation in rush yards per game (419) and ranks second in total yards (596.5). TCU has the 9th-best defence against total yards (203.0) and 32nd in rush yards (32). UCF’s running back crew, led by RJ Harvey, has already caught the attention of college football analysts, who are eager to see how they perform against one of the best defensive teams in the nation. But the difference maker in this match will be KJ Jefferson. The UCF quarterback has barely scratched the surface of his own capability with pedestrian numbers in the past two games. Jefferson built a legendary five-year career in Arkansas by covering 300+ yards and throwing multiple touchdowns in a single game. If there’s a game where Jefferson is direly needed to produce, this would be it – against the Horned Frogs with the first win in the Big 12 on the line. Our betting prediction for UCF Knights vs. TCU Horned Frogs: Back UCF to cover +3.0 points, -115, at BetMGM.
