UCF Knights Odds

UCF Knights 2025-26 Season

The UCF Knights enter the final stretch of the 2025–26 season as one of the most surprising and resilient teams in the Big 12. Under tenth-year head coach Johnny Dawkins, the Knights have defied preseason expectations that picked them near the bottom of the conference. Their resume is defined by marquee Quad 1 victories, including a statement win over Kansas and a recent 97–84 blowout of No. 19 BYU in Provo. Despite a mid-February skid where they dropped three straight games, the Knights have successfully stabilized their season and are currently projected as a No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament, putting them in prime position to return to the Big Dance for the first time since 2019.

The team’s success is anchored by senior guard Themus Fulks, who has emerged as the orchestrator of the offense with 14.3 PPG and a team-high 6.9 APG. He is flanked by a pair of high-impact veterans in Riley Kugel (14.0 PPG) and Jordan Burks (13.4 PPG), both of whom provide the length and SEC-level athleticism that have allowed UCF to compete at the top of the Big 12. In the frontcourt, senior Jamichael Stillwell has been a force on the boards, leading the squad with 8.0 RPG. As they look toward Selection Sunday, the Knights face a rigorous final week of the regular season against Baylor, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia to lock in their seeding for the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City.

How to Bet on the UCF Knights

The UCF Knights are navigating a gauntlet in the Big 12, making it essential for bettors to stay sharp as the lines move during conference play. Here are the most popular ways to wager on the Knights in legal sports betting states.

UCF Moneyline

A moneyline bet is a straightforward wager on which team will win the game outright. Your potential payout depends on whether the team is the favorite or the underdog. Here is an example using a UCF game against Kansas:

• UCF (+210 moneyline)
• Kansas (-260 moneyline)

In this scenario, Kansas is the favorite (indicated by the minus sign), and UCF is the underdog (indicated by the plus sign). A $100 bet on the Knights would return a $210 profit if they pull off the upset, whereas a bettor would need to wager $260 on Kansas to win $100.

UCF Point Spread

A point spread wager focuses on the margin of victory. This levels the playing field between two teams. Using the same UCF vs. Kansas matchup:

• UCF +6.5 (-110)
• Kansas -6.5 (-110)

UCF "covers the spread" if they win the game outright or lose by 6 points or less. Kansas must win by 7 or more points to cover. The -110 represents the "juice" or "vig," meaning you must bet $110 to earn a $100 profit.

UCF Over/Unders

Over/Under totals allow you to bet on the cumulative score of both teams rather than the winner. For a fast-paced Knights game against BYU, the total might be:

• Over 152.5 points (-110)
• Under 152.5 points (-110)

If the final score is 80–75 (155 total points), the Over wins. If the total is 152 or lower, the Under is the winning side.

UCF Prop Bets

Prop bets (proposition bets) focus on individual player performances or specific game events. For Knights fans, popular player props often center on the team’s core playmakers:

• Themus Fulks Over/Under 14.5 points scored
• Riley Kugel Over/Under 2.5 made three-pointers
• Jamichael Stillwell Over/Under 7.5 rebounds

Bettors decide whether the player will exceed or fall short of the statistical line set by the sportsbook.

UCF Future Odds

Futures odds are long-term bets on outcomes decided at the end of the season. If you believe Coach Dawkins has a team ready for a deep March run, you can place a futures bet on: 

• UCF to win the Big 12 Tournament
• UCF to reach the Sweet 16
• UCF to win the NCAA National Championship
