Xavier at Cincinnati 2:00 ET
Bearcats (-) over Musketeers- This one is just too much for me. Is there something wrong with Xavier that I am not aware of, or are the Bearcats that good. Ah there is something wrong with the Musketeers as they will be without one starter because of a concussion and the other is questionable. Let me start by saying that it doesn't matter the sport that when I support the U. of Cincinnati I get hosed one way or another and its virtually the opposite when I support Xavier I'm more often a winner. Enough of that...these two are bitter rivals as my main 'Progressive' man tells me (a Musketeer pugilist) that Xavier is just not up to snuff this year. This is I mean about the Bearcats they are 6-20 ATS against the Big East and often I have expected them to rise to the occasion only to fall short. So, why today, why shOuld the win here? I coulD say the home team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and the favorite is 8-2 ATS, but what I see is that Xavier have been the dominate favorite but when the Bearcats are favored by seven or more they have won by 20 and 15 points. Cincinnati on an 8-game run goes to nine! Take CINCINNATI!
