Eastern Michigan vs Cincinnati Prediction 

Cincinnati comes into this matchup with a 5-1 record so far this year and they bounced back from their loss to Louisville with a nice win over NJIT. The Bearcats are shooting 44% from the field, but they have played very strong defense this season. Eastern Michigan is coming off of a 41 point loss to Louisville and they have allowed at least 87 points in three of their last four games. The Eagles are shooting 43% from the field, but they have been inconsistent with their results this year. We saw EMU battle against Pittsburgh, but I think this game will be more like Louisville. Take the Bearcats to cover.
