Cincinnati vs Colorado Prediction

The questions surrounding Hunter are a big concern heading into this game, but I can’t ignore how good the Cincinnati defense has looked the last few games. In the last game against Arizona State against a good offensive team, they gave up only 14 points and their defense is going to step up in a big way again here. The lack of scoring by Colorado will be the difference. Back Cincinnati against the spread.
