Central Florida -9, total 54.5
This will be one of the first games on Saturday and it can be seen on ESPN 2. SMU was able to get into this game thanks to an overtime win against East Carolina. SMU is 7-5 overall but they are always a threat with June Jones as their head coach. He seems to always find a way to get his team to win. Central Florida is 9-3 on the season and they have been very tough to stop in recent weeks. They routed Memphis 37-17 last week. SMU and Central Florida did not meet during the regular season. Central Florida has won the only two previous meetings against SMU.
Mustangs Offense
The Mustangs are averaging 28.2 points per game led by wide receiver Aldrick Robinson who has 12 TD catches this season. Kyle Padron has thrown for 3,306 yards passing and 28 TD passes this year. Even though SMU can score they should get tested by a Central Florida defense that is allowing just 18.9 points per game.
No Defense for SMU
The Mustangs are giving up 27.2 points per game so SMU needs to score a lot of points. SMU gave up 452 total yards and five touchdowns against East Carolina but their offense bailed them out. It may not work this week against a Central Florida team that is averaging 35.2 points per game.
