Baylor vs Cincinnati Prediction

I’m not rushing to the window to bet on this game, but if I have to be on a side here, I’d be looking at Baylor. I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Cincinnati in their rare step-up spots outside of the win over Dayton, and Cincinnati has done a good job of crushing lesser teams on their schedule, but now we’re in the thick of Big 12 play, where you’re not going to encounter any cupcakes the rest of the way. Baylor got beat up last time out on the road, but at home is where the Bears have been rock solid and I think we’re getting them on the somewhat cheap here. Give me Baylor in this one.
