The UCF / FIU line opened at -17 and has dropped to -13.....It dropped from -14.5 to 13 in the last 36 hours....Call me a sucker but I am going to bite...I cant find any real reason to proceed with caution here...No real good cause for a line drop....DE Demetrius Anderson is out for the year and was a key part of the "D" line but not a game breaker...In fact with starting OL Jordan Budwig out as well as S Jordan Davis out for FIU, I think they lost more talent from injuries.
UCF is only returning 3 players on defense but the talent they recruit out of Florida proves to be underrated and very talented year after year.....They have finished 1st or tied for 1st 4 out of the last 5 years in their conference including finishing 1st in their first 2 years in the AAC which has a lot more talent than Conference USA....George O' Leary corrected a reporter a few years back after being asked how he always manages to "do a lot with a little" by telling the reporter that he's always been able to field very talented teams and that he has done " a lot with a lot" I believe this year will be no different..
in last years match-up with these two teams the line was -24.5 and the game was AT FIU......UCF covered easy 38-0........With this game being played at UCF I would not be shocked to see the line at 17-20 as UCF has lost a couple real good WR's and a couple of real good players on defense.....But still the talent that George O' Leary brings in is consistently strong and is superior to that of FIU.....Big talent gap here and I think UCF rolls in this spot.
I have added 2 units to UCF as the line has dropped.
Good luck fellas
