Point Spread: 8.00 | -110.00 Cincinnati (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Cincinnati Bearcats.
The Houston Cougars are flying high after upsetting Oklahoma in Week 1, and following that up with a blowout win over lowly Lamar. The Cougars look like the real deal, but I think all the hype as resulted in an inflated line as they get set to face a division rival on the road. Remember the Bearcats are also 2-0, and sophomore quarterback Hayden Moore has thrown for 510 yards and accounted for seven TDs in those wins. Last year the Bearcats went into Houston, and gave the Cougars a scare in a 33-30 thriller.
Cincinnati was 5-1 at home last year, and they played some quality opponents during that span. They beat Miami 34-23, and Hayden Moore threw for 279 yards and a pair of TDs, also scoring a rushing TD in just his second start. While Cinci is in good shape with a confident sophomore quarterback, the Cougars are concerned about a shoulder injury that is bothering starter Greg Ward Jr, who was unable to go last Saturday against Lamar. He's expected to play through pain tonight, but it's hard to imagine that he'll be at 100 percent just four days after sitting out a game. I don't think the Bearcats are going to roll over at home in such a big game, it should be close.
Take CIN.
