Cincinnati Bearcats FB Schedule Breakdown

🔴 Rest Advantage: None. Both teams do not play in week 0.

🦅 The Eagles were picked to finish 17th out of 17 in the ACC by Pick Six Previews

💰 Cincinnati Bearcats are currently 7.5 point favorites over BC after the line opened up at 9

🗒 BC will be missing TE1 Kaelan Chudzinski after he suffered an achilles injury in mid-July according to Pete Thamel

🔴 Rest Advantage: Cincinnati. The rare week 2 schedule advantage‼ It is slight though as Western Carolina plays in week 0 vs. EKU ➕ @ Campbell in week 1 making the Cincinnati trip the Catamounts’ second road game in as many weeks

🔴 Rest Advantage: None. The Redhawks do play at Pittsburgh in week 1 though so it will be their second game away from Oxford. Miami hosts Holy Cross in week 2.

💰 Miami OH is T-1st to win the MAC on DK at +360

🔔 This is the final Battle For The Bell unless the series is renewed, but it appears Miami has decided to play away at Big Ten teams going forward. Cincinnati leads the series 61-60-7. Maybe a successful event at TQL could rekindle the series.

🔴 Rest Advantage: None. The Wildcats host Washington State and Tulane the two weeks prior to their trip to Nippert Stadium though, so they will be more tested than the Bearcats.

🟣 KSU QB Avery Johnson is 4-6 in his career in Big 12 away games. Big year for Avery Johnson, if he doesn’t deliver Johnson officially enters the Matt Grothe territory of overhyped

💰 Picked T-5th in the Big 12 by Pick Six Previews and +1500 on DK (4th)

🗒 Can you look ahead to a BYE week⁉ Kansas State has a grueling, emotional stretch after their first Big 12 game (and first road game) @ Cincinnati ⬇

🔴 Rest Advantage: None. The Wildcats host the Bearcats after going on a road trip to Washington State. Arizona also plays @ BYU in week 2, while this will be the first road game of the season for Cincinnati.

🔵 Arizona was picked 8th in the Big 12 by Pick Six Previews but returns star QB Noah Fifita. The Wildcats secondary will be completely new this year after having one of the best secondaries in all of CFB last year.

💰 UA is +1900 on DK to win the Big 12, good for 6th best odds

🗒 Just 5 weeks into the season and Cincy coaches have now watched Washington State film vs. a team called the Wildcats for a second time

🔴 Scott Satterfield is 2-3 coming out of the BYE during his Cincinnati career:

🔴 Rest Advantage: Cincinnati. This is the first massive advantage on the Cincy schedule. The Mountaineers will be playing their 7th straight game while UC is coming off of a BYE.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked WVU T-11th and DK has the Mountaineers at +5,000 (12th)

🗒 WVU probably has the worst QB in the Big 12 in Michael Hawkins Jr. (transfer from Oklahoma) but also you never know what Rich Rod’s run game will look like. Transfer RB Cam Cook was the nation’s leading rusher for Jacksonville State last year

🔴 Rest Advantage: None. Cincinnati and Texas Tech share week 6 BYEs.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked TTU 1st and DK has the Mountaineers at -105 (1st)

🗒 Homecoming ➕ the biggest Bearcats home game since Oklahoma. For obvious reasons. Not even going to address a let down spot (ASU week prior) or look ahead spot (Arizona week after) for Texas Tech because neither team is going to not be fired up for this one

🔴 Rest Advantage: Cincinnati. It’s minor, but the Bearcats are playing their 3rd game in a row while Utah is heading to Nippert for their 4th straight game.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked Utah 3rd and DK has the Utes at +650 (3rd)

🟠 Halloween game at Nippert, could this be a Nipp at Night spot⁉

🗒 We got a classic letdown lookahead sandwich spot here. Utah hosts Houston the week before Cincy and BYU the week after. This is a pretty good spot for the Bearcats here

🔴 Rest Advantage: Houston. The Cougars are coming off of a BYE while Cincy is playing their 4th game in a row.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked UH T-5th and DK has them at +1600 (5th)

⚫ Cincinnati currently holds a 5 game win streak over the Cougars with Houston’s most recent win being a 40-16 blowout at Nippert in 2016.

🗒 Minimal chance the Cougars are looking ahead to Colorado. Much more likely that the Cougars are coming out of the BYE hungry after a loss @ Utah. Bad spot for the Bearcats

🔴 Rest Advantage: Iowa State. The Cyclones will be playing their 4th game in a row while Cincinnati is playing their 5th game in a row.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked ISU to finish last in the Big 12 and DK has them +11,000 (16th) to win the B12.

🗒 Iowa State could be packing it in at this point especially if they are out of consideration for a bowl game, but I doubt they really lay down in year 1 under new head coach Jimmy Rogers. To me this is the worst team in the Big 12 by a margin.

🔴 Rest Advantage: None. Cincinnati and Colorado share week 6 BYEs.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked CU 15th and DK has them at +9,000 (14th)

🗒 Potential late down spot after hosting Houston the week prior. Deion is a Texas guy and a Cincinnati guy so those are two big ones back to back. Also it’s late in the season so there is a chance Colorado is spiraling by week 12 — the Buff have a brutal schedule.

🔴 Rest Advantage: Cincinnati. BYU is playing their 9th game in a row while Cincinnati is playing their 7th game in a row. BYU has that brutal week 4 BYE so they will be coming to the end of their gauntlet here.

💰 Pick Six Previews picked BYU 2nd and DK has them at +550 (2nd)

🗒 The schedule gauntlet is a real talking point here especially if Cincinnati is playing for something in week 13, but BYU also could be super focused because this game could be what gets them to the Big 12 Championship.
