Odds

Friday’s duel features a spread of (-23) in favor of Cincinnati and an over/under at 58 points. The Bearcats have failed to cover in their last three (Navy, Tulane, and Tulsa), with two of those matchups being decided by a single possession.

South Florida is 4-1 ATS at home and 4-3 in that category as an underdog. Among those games are three matchups against ranked opponents in which the Bulls successfully managed to beat the spread. They certainly remain the overwhelming underdog, but a hard-fought game last week against Houston (8-1) suggests the possibility of a dogfight from start to finish .
