Final October 3, 2026 · 12:00 PM ET
Final: UCF Knights 17, Houston Cougars 27.
How the Odds Moved, Open to Final
Pinnacle's moneyline, from the first price we saw on Sep 27 to the final whistle.
Pinnacle is the reference line, never a price to bet at here.
About This Chart
Live prices are read every minute, so a move shows up a minute or two after the play. The longest gap between readings in this game is 68 minutes.
Pinnacle's moneyline from the first price we captured on Sep 27 to the end of the game: 100 pregame readings, then 83 in-game readings over 157 minutes. The dashed line is kickoff. The pregame side is drawn on a shorter time scale than the game so the game gets most of the width. Plotted as win probability with the vig removed, so the two sides sum to 100%. Pinnacle is the reference market because it prices every game before and during play, and one book keeps the line continuous. It is not a US-licensed book and is never shown as a best price here. Hover or press the chart for the American price at any moment. The Spread and Total views draw Pinnacle's main line at each reading as a step, so every move from one number to the next shows where it happened, with the prices in the readout.
Earliest at Pinnacle: Houston Cougars -454 on Sep 27, closed at -401.

- Houston Cougars: PINN open -454, closed -401 (longer)

About These Closing Odds
Every price on this page is a book's own last quote strictly before UCF Knights and Houston Cougars started, taken from our scan archive. A book that stopped pricing the game early still shows the number it closed at, and a book that never priced it is not listed. 20 books priced this game. The tables list the books you can bet; an offshore book shows when you turn it on in your books, and Pinnacle appears only as the reference on the chart. Prediction market prices include trading fees wherever a fee applies, so they are directly comparable to sportsbook lines. See how we calculate this.
This page is permanent. The closing prices above do not change again, and the page keeps them at this address after the game, the season and the rematch, so it stays a citable record of what this line actually closed at.
