AAA's 10* *UCF/Houston* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER!
(NCAAF) Central Florida vs. Houston,
Total: 50.00 | 101.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between UCF and Houston.

For a number of different reasons I expect this total to eclipse the number as the game comes down the stretch. UCF actually ranks 117th out of 125 FBS teams in yards per contest as it had to introduce a first year starter at QB; however, UFC is going to have to find a way to get into the end zone tonight as Houston is a juggernaut on that side of the ball, averaging 31.5 PPG; the Cougars would rack up 399 yards at UNLV in their last game. Houston gets the job done with a very well balanced attack, a pair of WR's have more than 220 yards in the first four games, while two RB's have totaled at least 196 yards in the same time frame. That means that UCF QB Justin Holman will need to match pace, he's completed 60.7 percent of his passes so far, his ground game has yet to get going though as the Knights average just 2.6 yards per carry. Central Florida will also have to be wary here as Houston plays with revenge after last season's 19-14 setback. This is a sound play from a trend based angle as well, both teams exihibt many OVER tendencies in this spot; note that UCF has seen the total go OVER the number in four of its last five road games where the total in the contest is set between 49.5 and 52 and in six of its last seven games played in the month of October. And note that Houston has seen the total sail above the posted number in three of its last four following a bye-week. Both team's have had a week off to focus and prepare, in my opinion the situation, the numbers and the trends all point to the OVER as the sharp wager in this contest.
