Central Florida at Kansas State

Premium Pick

Kansas State has covered the number five straight as a home favorite and the Knights are 0-4 ATS their past four road games. The Wildcats come off their first loss of the season and it was due to a 61-yard field goal by Harrison Mevis as time ran out that gave Missouri the victory. The Wildcats will be in a foul mood after watching Tiger fans storm the field and QB Will Howard played through pain from a leg injury and threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns. Howard is listed as questionable for this game and the backup is highly-touted freshman Avery Johnson, who is expected to be the quarterback of the future at Kansas State. Johnson already has relieved Howard once this season and led the Wildcats on a 79-yard scoring drive, completing two passes for 40 yards and scoring on a seven-yard run. Central Florida is 3-0, but two of the wins were against Kent State and Villanova, and the other was a 18-16 victory over Boise State. Kansas State has allowed only 14.3 points per game and UCF coach Gus Malzahn is 19-7 UNDER off a win by at least 28 points. The Wildcats are #4 in the country in rush defense allowing only 50.0 yards per game. Take Kansas State and the UNDER.
