Why Cincinnati Will Win

The Bearcats are deep in the mix for the American Athletic Conference title, win this, beat Tulane next week, go defend your championship.

The passing game has been up or down – Ben Bryant failed to get to 56% in three of his last four games – but the yards are there. As long as the offense is taking advantage of its chances, and as long as the yards are there for Bryant, everything else should fall into place.

The best defense in the AAC with the best pass rush in the conference should hold up fine, but …

Bowl Projections

Why Temple Will Win

The Owls have something in EJ Warner.

The freshman passer is bombing away with more than 200 yards in six of the last eight games and a 486-yard day against the porous Houston secondary. He’s going to keep throwing and he’s going to keep pressing even in the face of Bearcat pressure.

Cincinnati keeps on winning, but it’s getting thrown on over the last few weeks. Navy didn’t do anything through the air – it’s Navy – but UCF and East Carolina were able to come up with enough yards to matter, and …

What’s Going To Happen

It might not always be pretty, but Cincinnati keeps on getting the job done. It’s still in the mix for a New Year’s Six game, but it’ll have to try against a suddenly interesting Owl offense.

Warner will have a good yardage day, but he’ll give away two picks, The Bearcat defensive front will take over in the second half.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Cincinnati vs Temple Game Preview


Why Temple Will Win

That’s more like the Temple we were waiting for.

The Owls were supposed to be solid coming into the season, but they couldn’t stop screwing up against Rutgers and couldn’t get past Rutgers. They beat Akron and Wagner, and then last week they passed the real test with a 34-31 win over Memphis.

Now they get a shot at a potentially unfocused Cincinnati team coming off the massive win over Notre Dame and with the showdown against UCF coming up next. Here’s the problem for a team being all but put in the College Football Playoff by some …

D’Wan Mathis is playing well.

The one-time star quarterback recruit for Georgia has thrown for over 600 yards and five touchdowns with no picks in the last two games. Temple is 3-0 when coming up with 400 yards or more, and 0-2 when it doesn’t, but …

Week 6 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Cincinnati Will Win

Cincinnati has yet to allow more than 400 yards.

Now, Temple is 0-2 when it doesn’t hit 300 yards, and UC has allowed that in each of the last two games, but Mathis will be under pressure all game long and it’ll take something special to crank up the production the O generated against a bad Memphis D.

The Bearcat pass defense is among the nation’s most efficient – coming up with eight picks and just three touchdown passes – allowing quarterbacks to hit just 46% of their passes. Temple doesn’t have the ground game to bust through if Mathis isn’t great.

What’s Going To Happen

Be a wee bit careful here.

Temple gets to play loose and free in this, and it has the veterans to pull off a good game now that all the pressure in the college football world is on the other side.

Give it a a quarter, and then the Bearcats will settle down and start to produce. Temple will go on a few early scoring drives, but it won’t be nearly enough – it won’t be able to keep up the pace in the second half.
