This is an 8* play on the UNDER between Cincinnati and UCLA.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

As note that Cincinnati has seen the total go UNDER the number in two of three as an underdog this year and in two of its last three against good offensive teams which average 77-plus points per contest, while UCLA has seen the total go UNDER in four of its seven neutral court affairs already this season and in six of ten this year against good defensive teams which allow 64 points or less per contest.

The bottom line: Cincinnati advanced by dismantling K-State 75-61 in the opening round, while UCLA rolled to a 97-80 win over Kent State in its first round matchup. The Bearcats average 75 PPG and allow just 60.5. UCLA owns the No. 1 offense, averaging 90.6 PPG, while allowing 75.5 on the defensive end. This is a clash of styles, but fatigue is also a factor at this point of the tournament. There's no way the Bearcats can get into a "track meet" with the Bruins and hope to score the upset, Cincinnati will need to slow this one down and control the tempo if it has any shot. This number is just a little high, play the UNDER.
