Cincinnati at Colorado picks and predictions
Prediction
Cincinnati 24, Colorado 21
Moneyline
Colorado has scored 28 or more points in 5 straight games and averaged 37 per game in conference play. However, CINCINNATI (+200) has allowed 16 or fewer points in 4 its last 5 games and has given up an average of 17.8 per game in conference play.
The Bearcats have scored 27 or more points in 5 of 7 games.
Colorado has allowed over 30 points in 2 of 4 conference games.
BET CINCINNATI (+200).
Against the spread
The Buffs have covered the spread in 5 straight games. The Bearcats are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
But it comes down to both teams’ defenses. Both offenses score well. Cincinnati’s defense is better, and that should be enough to not only cover, but win outright, so betting the moneyline is huge.
PASS.
Over/Under
Three of Colorado’s 4 conference games have had 59 or more total points.
But only 1 of Cincinnati’s 4 conference games has had a total higher than 48.
BET UNDER 57.5 (-115).
