College football today: Bowl game schedule for Friday

All times Eastern

Gasparilla Bowl
Georgia Tech vs. UCF
Fri., Dec. 22 | 6:30 p.m. | ESPN
Line: UCF -6, 66.5
FPI pick: UCF 63.9% to win

Georgia Tech: Brent Key is 10-10 through his two seasons at the helm, and while his team is top-50 nationally in scoring offense, it's also just 104th in college football by allowing almost 31 points per game. Jackets quarterback Haynes King is a capable dual threat, and is 1 of 2 players with 2,700 yards passing and 600 rushing. The other is Jayden Daniels.

UCF: The Knights slogged through a five-game losing streak in their first season as members of the Big 12, but won 3 of the final 4 games to close out, including a surprising upset over Oklahoma State. UCF is 33rd in scoring and 5th nationally with 233.2 rushing yards per game.

ATS pick: Georgia Tech +6. One matchup should go the longest in determining this game, as the Knights are among college football's best rushing teams, and Tech is among its worst defending against the run, ranking 128th out of 130 by allowing almost 226 yards on the ground, over 5.21 yards per carry, and 28 rushing touchdowns.
