Rickenbach NCF *8* Miami Hurricanes -6.5 @ Cincinnati @ 7:30 ET - The Hurricanes are coming off of a bye week. Some will look at the fact that they have a big game on deck with Florida State and will feel that the Canes could be short on emotion here. I don't see that all. Last week, in their game prior to facing the Seminoles, Miami absolutely crushed North Carolina. Additionally, with the added benefit of coming in on a bye week here, the Hurricanes should absolutely crush the Bearcats. Cincinnati is certainly hurt by the absence of Gunner Kiel here. Sure the back-up QB Moore had a huge game last week but that was against the ultra-porous defense of Memphis. Miami's defense is certainly quite different from the Tigers. In fact, Cincinnati has faced a very weak schedule so far and facing this tough ACC foe is going to be a major step up in "class" for the Bearcats. Though Miami won by just three points the week before their bye they did have a late 33-10 lead in that game and the deceiving 36-33 final score has led to some additional line value on the Canes this week. The Hurricanes are a solid 7-3 ATS as a road favorite while the Bearcats, overall, are on a 1-5 ATS run. Play Miami -6.5 as an *8* selection Thursday.
