USF is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall while the over is 7-2 in their last 9 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the under here. USF has been involved in some high-scoring games as of late, but the problem is that Cincinnati’s rock solid defensively and I just don’t trust the Bulls to put up numbers in this matchup. On the other side, Cincinnati’s been less effective on the road this season and this total just feels way too high for this matchup. Give me the under here.
