Cincinnati vs Arizona Prediction
In this Cincinnati vs Arizona Prediction, Arizona is coming as -15.5 home favorites. Arizona has been the better team this season as they have been one of the few yet undefeated teams in the whole country and have been better against the spread than Cincinnati. They have the 15th-best offense in the nation and allow less than 70 points per game for a dominating +21.3 point differential this season, so I expect them to win this one comfortably. Take Arizona and lay the points at home.
