Before you make any UCF vs. Louisville picks and college football predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of more than $3,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also enters Week 3 of the 2021 season on a 67-50 run on all top-rated college football picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.

The Knights are 2-0 after securing wins against Boise State and Bethune-Cookman. Dillon Gabriel has powered UCF's explosive offense with 630 passing yards and six passing touchdowns. Whether the favorites can keep things going in their first road game of the year remains to be seen, though. Louisville bounced back from its Week 1 loss to Ole Miss by blowing out Eastern Kentucky. Dual-threat quarterback Malik Cunningham has had to carry the Cardinals on offense. He's tallied two passing touchdowns and tallied another four on the ground.

Now the model has simulated UCF vs. Louisville 10,000 times, and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread has all the value. You absolutely need to see it before locking in your own picks.
