Per, Seminole Hard Rock App:
UCF +1 O/U 60
Gators favored by 1 point. That's probably gonna move during the week.

Vegas opens at -1 Gators vs UCF.
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
How does anyone take UCF +1 after that performance? Let alone -1.
Genuinely curious why Vegas regularly favors us in games we have no business being favored in or why they give us unrealistic spreads the last few years. We're being used for free money or someone out there has black and gold goggles.

I don't understand it also. Why UCF was favored by 14 points against Colorado was beyond me as well.
Maybe to entice us to bet? I think UCF loses by multiple touchdowns against the gators. But, I wouldn't take that bet either!

With Arkansas, Jefferson went 20-for-31 with 255 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while adding 92 yards and a score on the ground in a 39-36 overtime win over the Gators. Napier and his staff are using that performance from a year ago to prepare from a year ago, even though it's two different offensive systems that Jefferson is playing under.
Gators Face Familiar Foe at Quarterback vs. UCF
When the Florida Gators take the field against UCF, they'll have to stop a familiar face at quarterback that got the best of them a year ago.

Just let this sink in though yall. Especially the older fans like me. We're actually FAVORED going into the Swamp??! I'm just glad the day has come lol.
Tuesday, 11:30pm,
now says
UCF -3.
What the heck? Are the gators that bad or is Vegas that bad at placing odds?
UCF favored by 3 points now. A 4 point swing. Any gambling experts out there? Does that mean money is being bet on UCF or the gators to make it swing like that?

Gators are that bad but UCF was as high as -14.5 vs Colorado and got blown out at Home. Gus hasn’t been good ATS but he has beat a skeleton Gators coaching staff before.
I hate the Gators but it sucks that the matchup is happening when both Programs are at best mediocre.

Malzahn tends to win games that he shouldn't and gets blown out in games he should.
It makes you wonder if he just doesn't prep equally for every game.
He has $20+ million in buyout money to not feel like he has to be laser focused every week or during the holidays leading up to a bowl game.

It means people are betting UCF. Points are shifting to UF as Vegas tries to move $ over to the Gators.
The spread has nothing to do with Vegas predicting the outcome. It’s the betters that make the lines. If money comes in on both sides it stays the same. If it goes more negative it’s because money was pouring in on us and they want money on on UF too.
During a game the point spread changes from play to play. There must be a ton of game time betting as it will shift back and forth depending which team as the momentum and lead. It's been interesting to watch it change real time.
I lost a buck as I thought UCF could come back in the 3rd quarter and win against colorado. I wasn't sure, just wanted to make it interesting...I of course lost that dollar. I placed the bet in the stadium on my app.
I'm still getting use to being able to legally sports gamble. It's interesting to me but I'm careful to not get too foolhardy with it as the house always wins!
With Pete Rose passing away yesterday it kind of brings up the subject of players/coaches/refs being able to place bets as easy as I do on the outcome of the game. I hope nobody does that but it's been done in the past. It's interesting on how accepted sport's gambling is nowadays. It's in all the advertising now. Sin city has come to the smart phone.
With that said, it makes me want to put a buck on the gators to win. Just to curse the gators. I typically lose all my bets and haven't figured it out yet. Just noticed I lose more than I win.

The line this week tells me there are more Gator fans taking UCF than there are Knight fans taking Florida and the points.
I agree 1000%. After our I-AA performance against CO, how could anyone take us against FL at home (an SEC team). smh
It generates buzz and media but our coach has proved he's not a good decision maker.
Seminole gaming app stays at UCF -3. I put a buck for the gators straight up with no points. I don't see how UCF is going to beat the gators. And, if they do, I lose a buck...big whoop.
ESPN Predictor has Gators winning 51.6 percent and their espn bet says gators -1.

UF locker room has to be a mess given the coach is out the door, players likely looking for next school. If Malzahn can't take advantage of that, then he should be out the door.
I'm just one of the old timers who remembers 1999 and 2006 quite well. So I'm amazed sometimes that the sleeping giant has awakened. UCF is favored in the Swamp!! 💪🏾⚔⚔
Yeah but how is our locker room after all of that Travis Hunter admiration?
found this on a betting site:
UCF Knights vs Florida Gators Betting Pick & Preview – 10/5/2024
The UCF Knights are set to take on the Florida Gators on October 5, 2024, at 7:45 pm EST, with the Knights opening as -2.5 favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting action shows 64% of spread bets favoring the UCF Knights, while 36% are on the side of the Florida Gators. The opening total of 61.5 -112 has seen 74% of bets going towards the under, compared to 26% for the over.thursday morning, I guess the smart money wagers are coming in now and it dropped to UCF -2.5 on SeminoleHardRockApp. Down from -3.
People are coming to their senses and are figuring out no-way-jose is UCF beating the Gators in the swamp.
But, we will see soon enough! I've gotta DVR the game as got a date that night. will be watching at midnight and gotta avoid social media and the harassing text messages I will get if UCF is losing.

The vibes are going to be really bad if things don't go well in the Swamp.
This is a must win for both teams to save the seasons!
For Napier his job, for UCF the fan's mental health.

Napier is gone either way, that ship has sailed. Even if they win 50-0, that's not moving the needle for anyone.
Napier is getting fired regardless but it could happen as early as Sunday if UF loses for optics reasons for their fanbase
Fan base meltdown if we get killed at Florida, which we probably will. (I hope I eat my words)
Come on man. Put that date aside!! Or either watch it during your date ⚔⚔⚔
Best recent comparison would be the Heupel home loss to Tulsa followed by @Memphis with the Obarski meltdown. You could feel the whole program reeling and turning against leadership.Fan base meltdown if we get killed at Florida, which we probably will. (I hope I eat my words)
"Or either watch it during your date"
I play drums in a bar band and they probably will have it on the Tv where I'm playing. But...I need full focus on the game. We could get rained out and then I'll get to watch it real time. Otherwise, we book these gigs a year in advance and I'm always worried about booking during football season. I hated when the schedule was released as I would be in the swamp if could make it.
Go Knighs!

Football doesn’t rain out. They play in rain. Lightning delays by 30 minutes and then resumes. I’m not in a band so I can’t relate to how important it is to you. But in my life things get bumped by UCF and Steelers Football. I only watch live or not at all.
Oh ok gotcha. I didn't know you meant a band date. I thought you meant a date with a female lol.
I think he meant that the bar will shut down if it's raining heavy. I used to work the door at a restaurant that turns into a nightclub at night so I know what he means.
