The UCF Knights will shoot for a bounce-back win over the Florida Gators in Sunday’s intra-state showdown at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida UCF is still licking their wounds after suffering a humiliating 48-21 defeat against the Colorado Buffaloes last week. KJ Jefferson had one of the worst outings of his college football career, throwing 20-for-35 for 284 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. UCF Knights defense was torched by Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who passed for 290 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Florida recovered from a loss to the Texas A&M, 33-20, after they outgunned Mississippi State 45-28. As expected, it was another high-scoring game for the Gators, who recorded 3 passing TDs and 3 rushing TDs while allowing the Bulldogs to put 28 points on the board. Florida ranks among the worst defensive teams in the nation at 27.3 points allowed per game.

Our Florida Gators vs UCF Knights Prediction
Florida is coming off a bye week and head coach Billy Napier thinks his team has improved a lot from the practices this week. However, addressing holes in their defense requires more than practice and skimming. The Gators are allowing 236.8 passing yards per game (95th in the nation) and 188.8 rushing yards per contest (108th), which could put them in a precarious situation against the Knights who boast a top-20 offense at 39.5 points per game and No.2 rushing crew in the nation 326.0 rushing yards per game. UCF is just listed at -2.5 points. But for me, I believe they can deal Florida one of the program’s worst loss this season by their sheer offensive firepower alone. Our betting prediction for UCF Knights vs. Florida Gators: Pick Knights to cover -2.5 points, -115, at Caesars Sportsbook.
