The Central Florida Knights will face the Duke Blue Devils in the Military Bowl in Annapolis.

UCF lost to Tulane in the AAC championship but still had a fruitful regular season, finishing 9-4 in Gus Malzahn's second year at the helm. The Knights ranked 28th in scoring (32.6 points per game), led by senior transfer quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, who threw for 2,404 yards, 14 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

The Mike Elko era at Duke has gotten off to a productive start. The Blue Devils finished 8-4 in his first season, which is Duke's first winning season in four years. Three of the Blue Devil's four losses were decided by three points or fewer. Duke is led by sophomore quarterback Riley Leonard, who threw 20 touchdowns and 11 rushing touchdowns this season.

Here's everything you need from a betting perspective on the game between UCF-Duke, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet).

Pick via FOX Sports College Football Analyst RJ Young:

Duke quarterback Riley Leonard has been one of the breakout stars of the ACC. UCF, on the other hand, is licking its wounds after losing the AAC title game to Tulane.

I like the Blue Devils in this one.
