UCF opens as a 3.5 favorite over Cincinnati

[Central Floridave]

Any takers? LOL.

UCF is playing horrible football this year. I'm going just for the Natasha Beddingfeld pregame concert. UCF wins the tailgate party but on the field... Meh...

UCF is as one dimensional as it comes…can’t pass the football: QB, OL and WR group are poor and Malzone makes it worse with his play calling.

UC will have two weeks to prepare and UCF is coming off two poor performances in the two most important games of the season.

Take UC + the points.

How does Vegas keep favoring us?? Could of made big money betting against UCF the last 2 games.

 

[Central Floridave]

I won a buck fifty betting for the gators in last night's game. Vegas has been stupid lately favoring UCF. They not watching?

 

[Retnuhrace]

I know we’re all upset about the last 2 games. But you can say Colorado had better athletes than us, and the Gators were stronger in the trenches. However, a loss to Cinci would be purely unacceptable in every way. No room for the few Gus Bussers that are left

Yea if we lose the next one then all hope is lost lol

I agree and disagree. Colorado has a few exceptional athletes, but our running back room is one of the best. We got severely outcoached by Colorado and Florida. Gus’ reliance on the Oline Coach is also ill fated . Have not been impressed with him at all.. In addition, it appears that every day Gus is losing the locker room.

They're making money by fooling everyone! 😆

 

[mattropolis]

How? Got to bet against that.

 

[Poolside Knight]

Vegas trolling UCF

I agree, I’m just saying what possible excuses there “could” be with the last 2 games. There are none of those that could be used with a Cinci loss, which would squarely fall on the coaching staff

3.5 favorite means we're guaranteed to lose by double digits.

 

[Happy Hands]

UC QB passed for 426 against TT. We lose by 21.

UCF has the worst pass rush in FBS with only 4 sacks on the entire year. Anyone program with a pulse can pass against that defense.

 

[80'sKnight]

Poor Gus, now it will be 12 losses while picked the favorite. He never gets any good news lately.

 

[Willie Knightime]

Cincy is solid this year. I definitely wouldn't bet on us. I hate to say this, but I want Gus gone so bad, that a part of me wants us to lose. I'm just ready for us to get back to the glory years man.

From the time we won our first conference championship in 07, the longest we had to wait for another was 2 years all the way up until our most recent one in 2018. We're going on 6 years without one now because of Gus Malzahn.

 

[Central Floridave]

I haven't seen any Cinci games yet so don't know what they got. Looking at their schedule they blanked Houston 34-0 and the other games win/lost it looks like they were in every game. Conference 3-0 Texas Tech beat them 44-41.

Yes, crazy that vegas has UCF favored. It went down to -3 points today from 3.5 yesterday.

UCF is trending down but can rebound, and they have to or die. Looks like everyone in the Big12 will have at least one loss.

Vegas was grossly wrong past two games.

So do I lose a buck on UCF winning or losing? I was pretty sure we would lose to the Gators, but Cinci, hey, don't know much on this one.

 

[Central Floridave]

And...the weather...almost forgot about that. If Cat 5 hurricane comes thru Orlando on early Thursday morning and out to sea by Friday....geez, wondering what the weather will be like Saturday and/or if cancelled due to devastation. So many unanswered questions coming up!

Joke: Milton McKenzie transferred to being a Hurricane!

Headline for the UCF newspaper..."Milton returns to UCF"

 

[PositYourself]

Pretty sure the game will be cancelled (along with our bowl hopes if not rescheduled) because the collegiate sport decision makers are pussies.

 

[Central Floridave]

...MILTON EXPLOSIVELY INTENSIFIES WITH 175-MPH WINDS..

Headline for the UCF newspaper..."Milton returns to UCF"

Which one of you made a wish with a monkey paw to bring Milton back.

 

[HammerB08]

Why do they keep offering free money betting against this team?

 

[Central Floridave]

I pulled this from the NHC 4pm update:

"Milton has the
potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record
for west-central Florida."

At least the National Hurricane Center realizes that tampa is not South Florida.

 

[HammerB08]

Hard to see this game being played at all. Widespread power outages through the weekend probably. Stay safe out there, everyone!

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

The storm will begin to lose strength as it gets closer to land. Should be a 3 at coast and a 1 inland.

 

[DrPhillipsKnight]

“Rare and historic” for east central Florida is what they’re saying. This game gonna get cancelled. Stay safe everyone

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

It will be cancelled because of all emergency workers will ve sent to coasts. Not because of conditions by stadium.

 

[Central Floridave]

If the game gets cancelled that def lowers my odds of betting the over 7.5 wins for the regular season. I had Cinci down as one of the wins.

Stay safe everyone, I putting up shutters and doing my final Hurr Prep. Hope the game happens but...

 

[AuburnLegacy_1]

Milton carves up South Florida would be a great headline for the Tampa Bay Times. Wasn't that game always played on a Thursday or Friday?

 

[Willie Knightime]

Surprised that it hasn't been announced that it's canceled yet. Yall stay safe down there. I'm in Destin and we've dodged them this year.

 

[AuburnLegacy_1]

Auburn isn't using Jordan-Hare this week. Maybe Gus can pull some strings and get the game moved there. I can GUARANTEE a sellout crowd would come to watch Gus. Auburn is 19-25 since the legend roamed the sidelines. Plenty of sellouts would flock to Jordan-Hare to catch a peak at Gus!

Black Friday.

 

[AuburnLegacy_1]

Black Friday.

Milton Causes Black Friday in South Florida

 

[vroomba]

Id say 25% chance this game gets played, although the most recent track is slightly more south which would reduce some impacts on Orlando if that does happen.

 

[Central Floridave]

FIFY

Milton Causes Black Friday in West Central Florida.

You are such a moron.

from a gambling site:

Cincinnati vs UCF Prediction​

The Cincinnati Bearcats aren't great defensively, but they have the horses offensively to give UCF a scare. Also, UCF has looked horrible at both ends of the field in its last two games. UCF can't tackle defensively, and the offense is limited due to KJ Jefferson's struggles throwing the ball. Last week, it looked like UCF was more concerned about running the clock out than making a comeback. No sense of urgency. I want nothing to do with UCF right now. Give me Cincinnati and the free field goal.

Gus never does hurry up. He can’t think fast.

Looks like the game is back on the menu boys!
