UCF vs. Texas Tech Prediction

The Golden Knights come in to play with a 5-5 record. UCF has a chance to become bowl-eligible with a win on Saturday.

The Knights come into play after a dominant win over Oklahoma State a week ago.

Quarterback John Rhys Plumlee leads this Knights offense. Rhys Plumlee has thrown for 1,572 yards, 11 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

Running back RJ Harvey has been one of the best running backs in the conference. Harvey has rushed for 1,082 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Wide receiver Javon Baker has been the top option in the passing game. The Senior has racked up a team-best 790 yards and five touchdowns.

Texas Tech will begin play with a 5-5 record. Similar to UCF, the Red Raiders will be bowl-eligible if they can win on Saturday.

Texas Tech has won back-to-back games, including pulling off an upset on the road against Kansas a week ago.

Quarterback Behren Morton leads the Tech offense. Morton has thrown for 1,154 yards, ten touchdowns, and three interceptions.

Senior running back Tahj Brooks has been one of the best backs in the nation. Brooks has rushed for 1,170 yards and eight touchdowns.

Sophomore Jerand Bradley has been the top option in the passing game. Bradley has racked up 423 yards and four touchdowns.

UCF vs. Texas Tech Pick

This is a good spot for the Red Raiders at home.

UCF is in a good letdown spot after a blowout win at home against Oklahoma State.

They will be a public dog this weekend, which I always love to fade.

Tech has the better defense, which will be the difference in this game.

Tiger-Cats vs. Alouettes Prediction, Betting Pick, Latest CFL Odds for Sunday, July 26th

The Montreal Alouettes have looked like the class of the East Division through the first third of the CFL season, already defeating Hamilton once and returning home with an opportunity to take firm control of the season series. With the Tiger-Cats turning to Tre Ford again at quarterback in place of the injured Bo Levi Mitchell, Montreal holds significant advantages on both sides of the ball.

Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga Prediction, Betting Pick, Latest Boxing Odds for Saturday, July 25th

Anthony Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga as a massive -1200 favorite in his first fight since surviving a devastating car crash in December. With a long-awaited Tyson Fury showdown potentially awaiting later this year, Joshua should pursue an emphatic early finish rather than allow the dangerous but unproven Prenga to build confidence.
