Take the BYU Cougars to cover in a must-win in our picks, odds & expert predictions against UCF on Saturday, November 29.
The Big 12 title game is within reach for the BYU Cougars, and they’ll try to do it at home Saturday against the UCF Knights.The BYU Cougars will look to clinch their spot in the Big 12 championship game when they host the UCF Knights on Saturday afternoon.
This is a must-win game for the Cougars against the overmatched Knights, and I’m taking the home team to cover in my UCF vs. BYU predictions.haven't made a habit of blowing out teams last year, but they have shown the potential to do at home, as it did last week in a 44-13 win over the TCU Horned Frogs., which comes in having lost six of its last seven and failing to be competitive against top tier conference competition. In the last three weeks, the Knights have lost to the Baylor Bears by 27 points and the Texas Tech Red Raiders by 39. Critically, both of these games came on the road, where UCF is 0-4 straight up and 1-3 ATS on the year. Even if they wanted to try and keep this one close, there’s a serious matchup issue for the Knights here. Teams have run the ball at will against the UCF defense, which is allowing 158.6 yards per game on the ground and 4.1 yards per rush. That’s a problem against the run-first offense of BYU, as the Cougars average five yards per running attempt. They can also wear down defenses with multiple big play threats on the ground, including both running back At home, with a championship game appearance potentially on the line, and against a team they should be able to steamroll on offense, BYU shouldn’t allow this to be a close game for very long. I’m taking the Cougars to cover. I have trouble imagining the UCF defense doing much to slow down the Cougars in this game, which has me targeting the Over at a reasonable number. I’m also looking for two stars to perform well for BYU: I like LJ Martin to hit his rushing total after a 222-yard performance last week, and I’m taking quarterback Bear Bachmeier to throw at least two touchdowns as well.has been held without a passing touchdown five times already this year, and may struggle against a BYU defense allowing just 17.8 ppg on the year.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.

Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.Texas Tech vs West Virginia Prediction, Picks & Odds for November 29 — College Football Week 14Indiana vs Purdue Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today — College Football Week 14Copyright © 1995 - 2025 CS Media Limited All Rights Reserved.
