Bryant Bulldogs vs Cincinnati Bearcats Point Spread Picks

Cincinnati lost for the first time all season in their last game vs. rival Xavier. The Bearcats' 7-0 start was littered with cream puffs, and they will take on another tonight at home vs. Bryant. The one thing we have seen with this Cincinnati team is they are going to run up and down the floor, and that uptempo style has lead to a 6-1 OVER record. Bryant will try to slow things down, but in their toughest game to date, they allowed 100 points to Xavier while scoring 75. I see a similar result tonight in Cincinnati. Play this game OVER the total. 

Bryant's off a clunker game but they've had an impressive season. Bryant has won six of eight, including a 73-72 win at Syracuse as a +9 dog.
