What cashed

ALT: UCF +16.5 (-301 DraftKings / -350 FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: UCF had covered +16.5 in all 6 of its games this year and in 8 of its last 8 at home. The main line was UCF +7. - What happened: UCF won outright by 8, so the alt covered by 24.5. UCF never trailed by more than seven. - Worth watching: A big alt cushion on a home underdog with this cover history is a sturdy anchor. The price is heavy, so it belongs as a single or a short pairing.

ALT: BYU over 21.5 points (-194 FanDuel / -200 DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: BYU had scored 22 or more in 8 of its last 10, averaging 31.9, and UCF had allowed 22 or more in 6 of its last 10. The main team total was 25.3. - What happened: BYU scored 31. It had 21 after a Sione Moa 1-yard run in the third quarter and went over on Matthias Dunn's 47-yard field goal at 12:09 of the fourth. - Worth watching: Bear Bachmeier threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns and ran one in. BYU's offense has a steady floor against defenses that give up 22-plus.

ALT: UCF over 14.5 points (-165 DraftKings / -186 FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: UCF had scored 15 or more in 8 of its last 8 home games and 8 of its last 10, averaging 26.4. The main team total was 18.3. - What happened: UCF scored 39. It went over before halftime when Landen Chambers caught a 6-yard touchdown from Jenkins with 0:04 left in the second quarter to make it 17-14. - Worth watching: UCF put up 463 yards and did not turn the ball over. When an offense is this balanced (293 passing, 170 rushing), low alt team totals give a lot of room.
