Cincinnati vs Arizona State Prediction
Cincinnati has done a good job of winning the games it’s supposed to win this season. It’s the underdog role where you have to worry about Cincinnati. Arizona State is usually a tough out at home, but it’s lost 4 times at home already. Over the last month, we’ve seen Arizona State lose to Oregon State, Colorado, and West Virginia in the favorite role. Arizona State has stretches where it can’t do anything defensively. Cincinnati has covered its last 3 games as a favorite. I’ll lay the bucket with the Bearcats on the road.
