Week 10 has a Thursday night offering that will offer a multitude of potential live betting opportunities when the Central Florida Knights host the Temple Owls. Central Florida has picked up where they left off last year when Scott Frost led them to a dream undefeated season. New coach Josh Huepel has picked up the reins and kept the Knights rolling towards another debate for college football playoff consideration. The tough Temple Owls are not as flashy as the Knights as they rely on defense for their success. Yet Temple needs just one more win for bowl eligibility.
This contest in Week 10 will go down Thursday, November 1, 2018, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando Florida. The game can be seen on ESPN.

Live Betting Odds Analysis
Central Florida will open as the live betting favorite for this one as they have significantly more credibility with the gambling public than Temple does. Therefore, the consistent worry for live betting is whether or not UCF is going to offer any wagering value as the pot will likely have to be sweetened on a capable Temple team that the public is not familiar with.
Owls Bring Soaring Profits
The Temple Owls are one of the hottest teams on the college football betting board with six consecutive payouts and an overall record of 5-3 straight up and 6-2 against the spread. Temple has gone under the total in four of their last six games including two in a row. The Owls are coming off a 24-17 home payout over then undefeated Cincinnati in overtime as 2.5-point chalks with a bye week that followed.
Knights Still in the Black Despite Notoriety
Central Florida enters this one with a record of 7-0 straight up and 5-2 against the spread with five of their seven games going under the total. UCF is coming off a 37-10 win at East Carolina as 21.5-point chalks. Central Florida has gone under the total in four consecutive games.
Team Metrics
Central Florida remains one of the best offensive football teams in the land as evidenced by their national rankings of sixth overall and fifth for scoring. Defensively the Knights are a bend but don’t break type of team that rank 72nd overall for total defense but 15th for points allowed.
Temple is an offensively challenged team that ranks 96th in the country overall and 59th for scoring. Defensively however the Owls rank 24th overall and 30th for points allowed.
ATS Numbers
Temple has been one of the better values on the college football board as a road dog lately. In fact, the Owls have covered the spread in nine of their last 12 when getting points away from home. Balanced against that is the fact that Central Florida has been a reliable play as a home chalk. To show, the Knights have lost just two of their last nine games at Spectrum Stadium when laying points. Four of their last six in that situation have gone under the total.
Head to Head Series
Central Florida has had the recent betting edge in this head to head series. For example, the Knights have covered the spread in three of their last four games with the Owls. Additionally, four of the last five between these teams have gone over the total.
Free Live Betting ATS Pick
High octane Central Florida will be an easy live betting sell to the general public. With that in mind bargain hunters may want to consider opportunities to get enhanced wagering value on Temple. While the Owls lack appeal with the masses their defense and betting value is proven. And the UCF defense may leave the back door open.
