Cincinnati Bearcats (12-0) vs Houston Cougars (11-1)

Cincinnati Bearcats -10.5
The 21st ranked Houston Cougars will travel to Nippert Stadium to take on the 4th ranked Cincinnati Bearcats this Saturday afternoon in the AAC Championship, and I like taking the Bearcats to cover this double-digit spread.
Houston comes into this game with an impressive 11-1 record and have been solid on both ends of the filed, however, the Cougars just haven’t played much in competition with their best win coming against SMU.
Cincinnati has been outstanding on both ends of the field this season as they come into this game ranked 8th in scoring offense & 3rd in scoring defense.
The Cougars are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog & 0-5 ATS in their last 5 December games. The Bearcats are 5-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
Cincinnati has yet to lose at Nippert Stadium with Desmon Riddler behind center and as Cincinnati is playing for a spot in the College Football Playoffs, I think they come out strong against Houston and pull away in the 2nd half to cover this large spread.
Brett’s Pick Cincinnati Bearcats: -10.5 -110
