4. UCF and Memphis combine for 100+ points

Last year in the AAC Championship Game, the UCF Knights put their undefeated record on the line, trying to put forth an unforgettable perfect season. In the end, after topping Auburn in the Peach Bowl, they were able to do that. However, you could argue that, in the conference championship bout, the Memphis Tigers gave the Knights an even bigger stare than their SEC foes in the bowl game.

That game featured two of the most explosive offenses in the country and things played out in just the manner that you would expect in that type of matchup. The score at halftime was in favor of Memphis, 31-24. Then, at the end of regulation, it was 48-48 going into the extra frames. They both scored touchdowns in the first overtime, then the Knights went on to capture the 62-55 by stopping the Tigers in the second overtime.

The point is, last year’s AAC Championship Game had all of the points, and everything points to that being the case this year. The Over/Under line for this game is set at an absurd 81 points, which is high even for two explosive offenses, which these two teams have. However, I’m going to take it one step further than that.

On Saturday, UCF and Memphis are going to combine to score more than 100 points yet again, this time in regulation though. Memphis can’t stop a good offense and UCF has yet to prove they can either. These teams can move the ball in any way they deem appropriate in a given situation, and that’s what we’re going to see time and again.
