I'm going to dive into the Sep 14 matchup between Stanford and UCF.
Stanford is a 2.5 pt favorite. If you want UCF, i would jump on this now. I think UCF will be favored by gametime.
Stanford starts the season at home vs Northwestern
Week 2 they have a conference rival at USC
Week 3 its at UCF
Week 4 its home vs conference rival Oregaon.
So Stanford is a road favorite vs a team who plays in a stadium with 1 of the top home field advantages in all of football? Stanford has a tough conference both the week before and after this game where its played 3 times zones away.
This game has a 330 EST starting time in Orlando. Its going to be HOT AS BALLS (see how PITT did at UCF last year when they went to orlando last september).
If you like the home team, take the points now
I'll preface my comments by saying that I live in Orlando and am very familiar with this UCF program.
I SOMEWHAT agree with the play on UCF, but I disagree with some of your reasoning. Saying that UCF has "1 of the top home field advantages in all of football" is misleading. That stadium is cute and it's nice that UCF has an on campus stadium.....but that is not a hard place to play. Stanford isn't going to be intimidated or affected by anything the UCF crowd brings. Additionally, this may be the only sure win that Stanford has during their first four weeks. If you're looking for a better opportunity, look at week four against Oregon AFTER Stanford has done two weeks of traveling.
The "hot as balls" reasoning is actually the best variable in this "bet on UCF" equation because it is true. Orlando is going to be damn hot in September and Stanford is not going to be acclimated or prepared for that kind of heat.
However, UCF does not have the team that they've had in the past two years. Milton was the catalyst for everything that UCF did on offense and he may won't play this year, if ever again. But, the main reason to be leery of UCF is their defense. The UCF defense is absolutely atrocious! They suck beyond sucking and they are going to be worse this year. They certainly have no answer for a ground & pound offense like Stanford's because UCF doesn't have a sizable defensive line AND they don't have the depth either.
It will be interesting, but not worth wagering on this game.....especially with a better opportunity against Stanford in week 4.
