CINCINNATI (-15.5) over Houston
3 p.m. ET
We expect Cincinnati to come flying out of the gate tonight after having a week to stew over its worst performance of the season in getting blown-out by SMU last Saturday. The Bearcats are one of the country's best defensive teams but allowed the Mustangs to shoot 54.3 percent and gave up a season high 76 points. Cincinnati is only allowing 57 points and 39.2 percent shooting percentage so we expect them to lock Houston down on the defensive end and get ots high flying offense back on track against a Cougars squad that has struggled on the road and lost it's last 11 games vs ranked opponents by double digits. Bearcats are 16-0 at home this season with 13 of those wins by double digits. The Bearcats will be focused against Houston after winning in Houston by just a point in January. Take Cincy in a blowout over Houston.
