Cincinnati vs Arizona Prediction
Cincinnati has been the more consistent team, hasn’t lost at home, and is led by the star quarterback. Cincinnati is going to be favored. However, we’re getting a free touchdown with Arizona, a team that can score with Cincinnati and has the seventh-best pass defense in the country. Arizona has failed to cover 7 of its last 8 games as an underdog, but the Wildcats do a lot of things well to hang in this game and even have a chance to steal it late. Cincinnati has failed to cover 5 of its last 8 games as a favorite of 5 or more points. I’ll grab the points with Arizona.
