College football Week 8 top picks
Dillon Gabriel has been a prolific passer this season for the CFP-contending Oklahoma Sooners, clearing 300 passing yards in four of six games played. When Oklahoma hosts UCF in Week 8, though, I don't expect the Sooners to get-or need-as much from their quarterback in the passing game.
UCF has allowed fewer than 200 passing yards per game this season, one of just 28 FBS defenses that can make such a claim. On the ground, however, UCF ranks 130th in the nation, allowing 220.2 yards per game to its opponents. That's where the Sooners are most likely to exploit the Golden Knights. And with a 17.5-point advantage on the spread, Oklahoma shouldn't feel co mpelled to throw much in the second half if the game goes to script.
Gabriel has posted three games in which his passing yards total fell between 285 and 308 yards, so every yard could count when selecting one of our best sports betting apps at which to place this wager. While most books fall at either 305.5 or 306.5 passing yards for Gabriel's total, FanDuel offers the line at 308.5 with solid -114 odds on the Under.
