The Cincinnati Bearcats and Miami (OH) RedHawks meet Saturday in week 3 college football action at Paycor Stadium. The Cincinnati Bearcats look to get a game above a .500 record. The Miami (OH) RedHawks also look to get to a 2-1 record.

The Cincinnati Bearcats have won 6 of their last 8 non-home games. Ben Bryant is completing 67.7 percent of his passes for 526 yards, 5 touchdowns and 1 interception. Tyler Scott and Jadon Thompson have combined for 215 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Tre Tucker has 5 receptions. The Cincinnati Bearcats ground game is averaging 172.5 yards per contest, and Charles McClelland leads the way with 110 yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively, Cincinnati is allowing 20.5 points and 350 yards per game. Ivan Pace Jr. leads the Cincinnati Bearcats with 23 tackles, Jaquan Sheppard has 1 sack and Ja’von Hicks has 1 interception.

The Miami (OH) RedHawks have lost 7 of their last 9 non-home games. Aveon Smith is completing 61.5 percent of his passes for 168 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Mac Hippenhammer and Nate Muersch have combined for 205 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, while Jalen Walker has 7 receptions. The Miami (OH) RedHawks ground game is averaging 165.5 yards per contest, and Kevin Davis leads the way with 62 yards on 7 carries. Defensively, Miami (OH) is allowing 25.5 points and 286 yards per game. Ryan McWood leads the Miami (OH) RedHawks with 18 tackles, Ty Wise has 2 sacks and Eli Blakey has 1 interception.

The Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 non-conference games. The RedHawks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. The under is 4-1 in Bearcats last 5 neutral site games. The under is 4-1 in RedHawks last 5 games overall. The Bearcats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. The underdog is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

The Cincinnati Bearcats are the better, more talented team, obviously, but it's fair to suggest this is a bigger game for the Miami (OH) RedHawks in terms of motivation. The RedHawks also held their own against Kentucky in their season opener, as that game was tied heading into halftime. The Cincinnati Bearcats should be favored and probably win comfortably, but this line is a bit too steep. I'm not sure Cincinnati is this much better than the RedHawks. Give me the underdog in this Ohio showdown.
