Friday Locks | Is Cincinnati Due For A Letdown?

M. HofeldOctober 8, 2021 No Comments Arizona State Sun Devils Football Arkansas State Football Boise State Broncos Football BYU Cougars Football Cincinnati Bearcats Football Coastal Carolina Football Iowa Hawkeyes Football Michigan Wolverines Football Nebraska Cornhuskers Football Notre Dame Football Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma Sooners Football Oklahoma State Cowboys Penn State Football Stanford Cardinal Football Temple Owls Football Texas Longhorns Football Virginia Tech Hokies Football

There’s the potential for a Cincinnati letdown here. Why I don’t think that’ll happen I do believe that it’s entirely possible that the Bearcats can win comfortably and still not cover a 29.5 point spread.

Follow the logic here. Last week the Chanticleers held a BYU team that averages 42.1 points per game to only 17 points. This week they get a Troy team that is averaging 25.8 points per game. I like CCU by multiple touchdowns here.

This BYU team seems like the real deal. Zach Wilson should be getting more Heisman buzz shortly. This game should be a really fun one to watch.
