The Cincinnati Bearcats are obviously going to be big favorites, and their defensive pressure gives lesser caliber teams more than they can handle. However, Cincinnati lacks the consistent scoring to blow teams out of the water. This is also a look ahead spot for Cincinnati, with Illinois on deck. The Presbyterian Blue Hose are also a battle tested team that hung around with Clemson and even had an eight-point lead in the second half. Give me the points.
