With Monday's 56-28 Appalachian State Myrtle Beach Bowl victory in the books, the 2020 college football postseason is officially underway. And Tuesday brings with it another southeastern-vacation-destination-themed bowl game with the expectation of plenty of offense.
Oddsmakers have set the over/under for the Boca Raton Bowl between Central Florida and BYU at 75, but have kept the spread within a single touchdown. According to our projections, however, that spread is still significantly too large.
Note: Odds, data as of 6:45 p.m. ET Monday.
Central Florida vs. BYU Pick
As you might've already noticed in the table atop this post, our PRO Projection for this game is BYU -1.8, which, compared to the listed spread of -6.5, provides plenty of value to the underdog.
In fact, it earns UCF an A+ grade and gives the Knights the largest spread edge on the entire bowl slate as of writing.
Of course, a nearly 5-point difference between a projection and listed spread is noteworthy in itself, but making this one even more valuable is that it passes through the key numbers +3, +4 and +6 — all relatively common final-score margins.
PRO Projection edge: Central Florida +6.5
