Cincinnati has played a substantially more difficult schedule, including games against UCLA and Ohio State.

Cindy is very tough at home and lost the past 2 seasons to UCF 38-13 and 51-23 so they will be fired up and hungry for this Friday night game.

The Bearcats sophomore quarterback Desmond Ridder has shown improvement that has led to a 3-1 start for the Bearcats. Friday's scenario will be much trickier as they will likely
lean on their veteran running backs to control tempo here.
I look for the improving Cincinnati defense doing enough to prevent this from becoming a track meet. I'm taking the points in this one.
