Our Cincinnati Bearcats vs Utah Utes Prediction
Utah is about a touchdown favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. The Utes may have had to grind out a win against Houston last week, but the fact that they did tells us they do not always need to be perfect.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati’s win last week against Texas Tech was impressive. That said, the Bearcats’ defense in particular has not always been the most consistent. With that, it is hard to believe they will be able to shut down one of the better offenses this season in Utah.
The Utes are also 6-1 against the spread this season and are 2-0 straight up on the road. For that reason, our Utah Utes vs. Cincinnati Bearcats prediction is: Utah Utes ML.
