Northwestern State vs Cincinnati Prediction
Give Northwestern State credit for getting a win against Alcorn State, ending the massive losing streak, but this is simply one of the worst football programs across all levels. There’s not much more to say than that, folks. Cincinnati isn’t a world beater and is 4-11 ATS in its last 15 games as a favorite. Still, this game has more to do with how bad Northwestern State is, a program that was winless in each of the last two seasons. It’s going to be a big number, but it’s Cincinnati or pass.
