Lots of points is the history of this game, and I expect more of the same here. Both of these teams have relied on high tempo offenses to get them this far. UCF and Tulsa were recently involved in the Conference USA championship game that saw 50 points by halftime. Nevada recently beat Fresno State and has scored at least 30 points on their last four football games. UCF has to travel the furthest of any team this season. It's their first bowl game ever and they may be a bit distracted and out of their element in Hawaii. Meanwhile, Nevada has played here. The oddsmakers expect a lot of points to be scored and I agree. Over their last three games, Nevada has averaged 39 and allowed 28. UCF has scored 28 and allowed 31. Two stars on Nevada and two stars on the over.
