Odds

Cincinnati currently stands as a 28 point favorite in the latest odds released by Draft Kings Nation, with the overall over/under at 49. Most of the love remains in the hands of the Bearcats plus the OVER, which mainly derives from UC’s necessity to score style points for the CFP committee.

Luke Fickell in co. are 6-1 in their last seven overall and even better — 5-0 — in their last five straight up. On the other hand, the Naval Academy comes in with a record of 1-10 in their last eleven straight up, continuing to skid just two years removed from their double-digit win season in 2019.
