WVU Football in Familiar Territory as Road Underdog at UCF

Can Rich Rodriguez get his WVU football team going after their week off? Well, oddsmakers don’t seem to think so based on their prediction for West Virginia’s upcoming road trip.

At the open of the new week, most major sportsbooks have WVU as an underdog against UCF. While not as big of an underdog as recent weeks, both DraftKings and FanDuel have West Virginia as at least a touchdown underdog to UCF.

West Virginia is currently coming off a 38-24 loss at BYU and 2-4 and 0-3 in Big 12 play. Conversely, UCF is now 3-3 and 0-3 in the conference after losing to Cincinnati on Saturday.

Much like WVU, UCF is experiencing the first season in the return of a former coach. Scott Frost is back with the Knights following a rough period with Nebraska.

Something will have to give this week, with two programs looking to get back to better days going head-to-head in Orlando.

WVU and UCF are set to battle at FBC Mortgage Stadium at 1 pm ET.
