ATS PICK: Cincinnati
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Do you believe in this Cincinnati thing or not?
The SMU offense has been fantastic. Even though it lost a few key parts to injury, the attack keeps on rolling, QB Shane Buechele has been magnificent, and the team is 5-0 complete with a good home win over Memphis and road victory over Tulane.
Here’s the issue. The offense totally worked – throwing for over 430 yards in each of those two games – and each game was a three-point win.
Cincinnati is better than Memphis and it’s far, far better than Tulane.
The Bearcats don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up in a shootout, but that’s not their style. They grind, they play strong defense, and they make you play their style.
However, it’s not like they’ve played a slew of killers – Austin Peay, Army, USF – and they still need to prove they can get the O going enough against a good team to keep up.
But you’re getting points, and Cincinnati is the better team. Hope for the line to go up to SMU -3 by gametime, but you should be fine outright.
