The UCF Knights have failed to cover the spread in four straight games, but they snapped a two-game losing streak with a 51-34 win over Tulane last week and I think they'll win comfortably here at Houston in Week 9.

UCF has one of the explosive offenses in College Football (it has scored at least 49 points in four of its five games) and ranks 1st in the nation for total yards averaging 646.8 per game. They should have no trouble racking up yards and points against a Houston team who ranks 66th against the pass.

We can also note that Houston has had disciplinary problems, averaging more than 91 penalty yards per game and is -5 in the giveaway/takeaway margin. UCF on the other hand is +8 for giveaways/takeaways.

8* play on Central Florida.
