UCF @ FLORIDA | 12/23 | 7:00 PM EST
UCF +6.5
ANALYSIS: There are a billion different ways this game can go, but when it comes to bowl season, motivation is always a huge factor. Florida is ready to move on to 2022 with new coach Billy Napier, and starting QB Emory Jones plans to transfer after this game. Then there's UCF, which has nothing to lose and everything to gain by knocking off one of the state's Power Five programs. Gus Malzahn loves winning games he isn't supposed to, so give me the Knights.

UCF +6.5
ANALYSIS: The Gators fired Dan Mullen and interim coach Greg Knox has already been notified he won’t be back as some of the assistants will remain in new head coach Billy Napier’s staff. Florida is expected to have several key players jump into the transfer portal and QB Anthony Richardson is hurt and expected to miss the game. The Gators failed to cover their last six games. UCF won five of its last six and should have a motivational edge. Take the points.

UCF +6.5
ANALYSIS: UCF coach Gus Malzahn has sneaky revenge in this game. His Auburn Tigers lost to Florida 24-13 as 2.5-point underdogs in 2019. He is 21-11 ATS in his career when seeking revenge. UCF has edges in red-zone scoring and penalties committed. UCF has the better offense and defense against fellow bowl teams. UCF won this Bowl (Gasparillia) game two years ago. Last year, UCF dropped the Boca Raton Bowl 49-23 against BYU. Take the Knights plus the points.

SAN FRANCISCO @ TENNESSEE | 12/23 | 8:20 PM EST
TENNESSEE +3.5
ANALYSIS: This is just a perfect Mike Vrabel game, isn't it? The 49ers are playing their best football of the season and the Titans can't get out of their own way. When you dig deeper in the stats here this game is closer than most might think. Both teams are built to run the football and then exploit the passing game after...which falls right into Tennessee's defense. The Titans run defense allows around only 90 yards per game for 2nd best in the NFL. They also have 13 interceptions on the season. Tennessee's issues lately have been turnovers and OL pass-pro but San Francisco's defense doesn't really create that many turnovers. AJ Brown is eligible off IR and he's begging to play. The Titans' offense, through all of it's injuries (seriously look at what they've put on the field in recent weeks), is one playmaker from opening it back up. Give me Tennessee at home as a dog, on a short week vs. west coast travel, and coming off a dreadful performance I can assure you Mike Vrabel is still in their ears about.

SAN FRANCISCO @ TENNESSEE | 12/23 | 8:20 PM EST
SAN FRANCISCO -3
ANALYSIS: The 49ers are rolling in straight-up terms at 5-1. The Titans’ lone outright win in their last four contests came against league doormat Jacksonville. Tennessee QB Ryan Tannehill would be advised to wear body armor. The veteran, who has been sacked 41 times, will be missing the left side of his usual offensive line. With T Taylor Lewan (back) and G Rodger Saffold (COVID-19) sidelined, their backups must fend against Nick Bosa, who is tied for third in the NFL with 15 sacks. San Francisco sports a better SU record on the road (5-2) than at home (3-4).

TENNESSEE +3.5
ANALYSIS: The 49ers are on a roll, winning five of their last six games and easily taking care of the Falcons on Sunday. The Titans have lost three of four, including an ugly game against the Steelers. Last week's results were enough to swing this matchup 3.5 points off the lookahead, which I think gives zero credit to how well the Tennessee defense has played in those games. The Titans rush offense had another great day vs. Pittsburgh, and A.J. Brown is likely coming back this week. I love getting the hook with the Titans at home trying to fight to keep the AFC South lead in the final weeks, while fading a 49ers team at its peak market value.

NORTH TEXAS @ MIAMI (OHIO) | 12/23 | 3:30 PM EST
OVER 55
ANALYSIS: If their latest games are any indication, a shootout looms. North Texas and UTSA engaged in a 68-point contest, which pales alongside the 93-pointer in overtime that involved Miami and Kent. The Red Hawks scored at a 40-point clip in their four closing games. Though the Mean Green are run-oriented, their pace is among the quickest in FBS. Miami, with its weak rush attack going against a stingy run defense, could unleash Brett Gabbert to throw more than 40 times. North Texas’ defense ranks among the nation’s worst for allowing explosive plays.
