Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:UCF +6.5 spread★★★

A dog getting 6.5 that keeps games closer than that

UCF are getting 6.5, and they have stayed inside that number in four of their last six. BYU have won by more than that in five of their last six, which is the worry.

The number

A loss by 6 or less still cashes; the bet is that BYU do not run away with it.

The decider

UCF are without Dante Carr at quarterback (out); UCF are without Alonza Barnett III at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. UCF's offense meets a BYU defense that has been stingy; the edge in that matchup belongs to UCF. UCF score 31.7 a game and BYU allow 15.2.

The context

UCF have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.

Situational

BYU are missing LJ Martin (RB), Sione Moa (RB) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

BYU have covered a number this size in five of their last six; a fast start and this is a blowout.
