Cincinnati Bearcats Betting Preview

The Cincinnati Bearcats look for a statement win to get off to a 3-1 start. Cincinnati has won 6 of their last 8 home games. Emory Jones is completing 66.3 percent of his passes for 735 yards, 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Xzavier Henderson and Braden Smith have combined for 467 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns, while Dee Wiggins has 7 receptions. The Cincinnati Bearcats ground game is averaging 239.3 yards per contest, and Corey Kiner leads the way with 289 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bearcats Team Facts

  • Cincinnati has won 22 of its last 23 home games against conference opponents.
  • Cincinnati has failed to cover the spread in seven of its last eight games against conference opponents.
  • Cincinnati has won the first half in 15 of its last 17 home games against conference opponents.
  • Cincinnati has won the first quarter in 10 of its last 12 home games against conference opponents.
  • Each of Cincinnati’s last six games in September have gone OVER the total points line.

Matchup/League Facts

  • Cincinnati ranked 14th among FBS teams for H2 points allowed per game last season (9.0).
  • Cincinnati ranked 17th among FBS teams for Q4 points allowed per game last season (4.7).
  • Oklahoma ranked 6th among FBS teams for Q1 points per game last season (10.2).
  • Oklahoma was one of only 14 FBS teams to lose 3+ games when leading at HT last season.

Randy’s Pick

The Oklahoma Sooners have shown to have an elite offense thought 3 games, and they’re led by a quarterback who is on fire. OU also has a scoring defense that’s fifth in the country, so this is a balanced attack. The Cincinnati Bearcats just lost to a bad Miami of Ohio team, so it’s hard to find the courage to get behind them in this spot. I question if Cincinnati has the horses offensively to keep up. Give me the Sooners in another road beat down.
