College Football
Today: 3PM EST
POTD: Cincinnati -7.5 (-110) over Boston College
Reason:
Cincy should win this game by 3 or more scores without breaking a sweat.
All Cincy players are playing
Cincy going for school record for wins in season
Cincy Defensive captain is from Birmingham where the game is being held
Cincy is 10-3 losing twice to a good Memphis team, and a blowout loss to Ohio State
Cincy is a good football team , especially when they limit penalties, which they have done a better job of lately
BC is a weak offensive team , and now missing key offensive pieces
BC comes in with a 6-6 record , are not playing well , and do not look good as a team
I would confidently take Cincy -7.5 even if BC was at full strength, and it was a home game in BC. This is not the case. Its a neutral site bowl game, and BC is a mess
BC stumbles into this game with their backup QB, backup RB, and with an interim head coach at the helm, while Cincy is at full strength, and ready to roll BC to get a Bowl win for their school, and to break the school record for wins in a season.
The weather is going to be bad, but that is no matter in this case, and I am more or less befuddled at that -7.5 line. It feels almost too good to be true, and it should be -17.5. BONUS: The UNDER at 55 is a LOCK too.
HAMMER Cincinnati -7.5 . It might be my favorite lock ever.
