I also rarely do underdogs and am struggling to find games I feel confident in, so we'll break the mold and take a shot at some entertainment here. Loyal readers over the years know I rarely do totals. Less confidence over the two-touchdown threshold, but this still shouldn't be close. This is one of two games I took Sunday evening when the lines came out, and it's moved a point since then. It's their first road game, so perhaps a slower start is in order, but I don't see how the Bearcats can keep up. We can argue Oklahoma, too, is beating the brakes off of nobodies, but I like what I saw defensively from them against SMU. Their Week 2 win over Pittsburgh is looking less impressive (and I'm targeting against the Panthers below), and who cares what they did in their opener against Eastern Kentucky. But rather, looking at their entire body of work, the Bearcats just don't look very good.
One thing I stress is to not go too overboard on last week's results, so don't view Cincinnati's loss to Miami (OH) in a vacuum.
