The UCF Knights host the South Alabama Jaguars on 10 November 2026 in an NCAA matchup where the model names UCF the clear favourite, rating them 91% to win because of their undefeated 2-0 season, 91.5 points per game and 85.0 allowed per game, and a league position of 124, while South Alabama sits 242 with a 1-1 record, 80.0 points per game and 83.0 allowed per game. UCF's two-game season shows a 2-0 record, 91.5 points scored and 85.0 points allowed, and they remain unbeaten at home with a 2-0 home record and 91.5 points per game; their last five games include three wins and two losses, with recent victories over Yale 87-75 and Florida Gulf Coast 96-95, and a loss to UCLA 71-75 away. South Alabama's season is 1-1, 80.0 points scored and 83.0 allowed, and their last five games record is two wins and three losses, with recent wins over Jacksonville State 83-80 and losses to Ohio 77-86 and Georgia Southern 85-94. In head-to-head history the teams have met once, with the last meeting as written. Pythia projects a 87-71 score, a total of 157.4, a 91% home win probability, a 9% away win probability, a home line of -17.5 with a 44% chance to cover, a total line of 151.5 with a 64% over probability, and a 2% overtime chance, leaving the Knights poised to dominate the Jaguars.
Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.

Markets that span the whole game: how the halves and quarters compare, overtime, the exact winning margin. Pythia's probability comes from 20,000 simulations of this game quarter by quarter; the price, edge and books are the same as everywhere on the page.
Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ranked by edge (click any column to re-sort). Use Min odds to match the prices you want; Edge = Yes shows only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them. The five price columns are the best market prices (highest first); edge is vs the consensus price.
