Welcome to the debut of ELOLines, where I will look at college football games involving UCF, the AAC and UCF opponents on the schedule from Vegas' perspective each week.

Last week I picked UCF to cover the -24 and go over the total of 70. I also picked Oklahoma to cover the 19 points against FAU. This week I look at the full slate. Games that involve FCS opponents do not have a spread usually. So we will not discuss those games.
