The set-up: UConn is going to lose this game badly, but I think it'll put up enough of a fight vs. a Bearcats team that's won six in a row and is already eligible. The Huskies come in off a 56-10 loss to Navy, but I don't think the home side will try to the score of this one up. QB Jack Zergiotis went 16 for 34, for 205 yards, one touchdown, and two INT's.

The pick: Cincinnati is rolling, but it has to be somewhat concerned after last week's 46-43 home win over ECU. Quarterback Desmond Ridder went 12 for 24, for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two INT's. Additionally note that the Huskies are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after a loss by 35 points or more, while Cincinnati is a poor 3-7 ATS in its last ten off a win vs. a conference rival. After last week's "close call," I'm expecting the Bearcats to play a bit more conservatively in this game which they know they can control from the moment it starts. Grab the points.

8* play on Connnecticut.
