2014-15 Football Previews – (American Conference) – Knights
The UCF Knights were outstanding last year under the stewardship of Blake Bortles, who was simply the first QB selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in this year’s NFL Draft.

I was so glad to see both of these teams make the BCS but it is a little bittersweet to see them square off because now one of them has to lose. The winner will have some serious momentum heading into next season while likely becoming the darling of the 2013 season to boot.
The 15th-ranked Central Florida Knights will battle the sixth-ranked Baylor Bears in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Date/Time: Saturday, September 11, 7:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Bright House Networks Stadium
N.C. Sate vs Central Florida Lines
Moneyline: Wolfpack +130, Golden Knights -150
CFB betting favorite: Central Florida -3
Over/Under: 51.5
North Carolina State Wolfpack (1-0)
Though they haven’t been tested against elite competition yet, the North Carolina State Wolfpack have to be happy with their Week 1 showing. They romped 48-7 over Western Carolina.
IDAHO: 5-0 ATS
Most experts picked the Idaho Vandals to finish at or near the bottom of the WAC standings heading into the season but they have been cashing tickets for their backers all season long. Idaho is 4-1 straight up but an astounding 5-0 against the spread making them the most profitable team in college football through the first five weeks. Idaho has been the underdog in all five of their games but they have won all of them except one.
