UCF vs. Oklahoma Betting Odds
UCF vs. Oklahoma Picks
The Knights have been one of the premier rushing attacks in college football as they rank third in the nation with 246.3 rushing yards per game up to this point. Senior running back RJ Harvey has been doing extremely well as he has 89 rushing attempts for 511 yards (5.7 yards per carry) with six rushing touchdowns. Harvey is averaging 18.5 rushing attempts in his previous two games so he should step up and hit the over on his rushing yards in this game.
The Sooners have been one of the top passing teams in Division I as they are sitting in fourth place with 341.2 passing yards per game. Senior quarterback Dillon Gabriel has been doing incredibly well as he is 141-of-195 (72.3 completion percentage) for 1,878 yards with 16 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has thrown for 10 touchdowns in his last four games and should have the over hit in this game against a lesser defense here.

UCF vs. Oklahoma Prediction
The Oklahoma Sooners are one of the best teams in college football for a reason and it will be interesting to see how they play against the UCF Knights. Both teams had an extended break as they have not played since Oct. 7 but Dillon Gabriel should light it up in this matchup. Oklahoma has been dominant and should be able to win the Big 12 Conference and should improve to 7-0 with a dominant win here.
Prediction: Oklahoma Sooners -19
