Unlike yesterday's showdown between Wisconsin and Oklahoma State, we're being treated to a game between UCF and Duke on Wednesday that features mostly complete squads. Opt-outs and transfers have taken their toll on bowl season, but this one should be a good one.
UCF comes into Wednesday's Military Bowl experiencing a wild up-and-down season and looking to cap off their 9-4 year with a win in a bowl game. UCF took down teams like Cincinnati and Tulane this year, but they also lost to a terrible Navy team, so we aren't quite sure what to expect.
As for Duke, they're in the middle of a resurgent year and a bowl win would be the perfect way to cap off the season. They got unlucky having to face Kansas when Kansas was a good football team, but wins over Miami, Wake Forest and Boston College down the stretch showed they are coming into this bowl game riding high.
With just a few hours before the opening kick of the Military Bowl between UCF and Duke, let's take a look at the latest odds, opt-outs and predictions for Wednesday.
UCF vs. Duke Odds - Military Bowl
Team | Moneyline Odds | Point Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
Duke | -164 | -3.5 | Over 62.5 (-115) |

There isn't much separating these two teams as you can see from the latest UCF vs. Duke odds for the Military Bowl Presented by Peraton.
UCF, led by QB John Rhys Plumlee and RB RJ Harvey come in as underdogs to this tough Duke team. Part of that may be the fact that Plumlee will be missing his second favorite target as WR Ryan O'Keefe has entered the transfer portal.
Here's the thing. Plumlee was slowed by injuries in the later portion of the season. We don't have an official word on his status, but it appears he will be playing. This assumes that he is good to go for this one.
Right now, UCF vs. Duke odds have UCF as a 3.5-point underdog and +140 on the moneyline, which is pretty good value for a team with two ranked wins on the year.
Duke has no notable transfers or opt-outs, so we expect to see the full Blue Devil squad on Wednesday. Their odds of -164 imply they have a 62.1% chance of winning.
Sophomore QB Riley Leonard leads this team and as he goes, so do the Blue Devils.
UCF vs. Duke Prediction
Maybe it's because I have watched all of UCF's big wins and I missed their loss to Navy, but I love UCF here on the moneyline. At +140, you're getting great odds on a team that beat a ranked Cincinnati team and took down a Tulane Team that is playing on New Year's Day. +3.5 is the safe play, but we're not here to be safe. I'm taking John Rhys Plumlee on the moneyline at good odds and my UCF vs. Duke prediction is a lopsided win for the Golden Knights.
