Cincinnati Bearcats vs Drake Bulldogs Point Spread Picks

Cincinnati has been an UNDER team for many years when Mick Cronin was coach, as his teams specialized in low-scoring defensive-minded games. That won't change much with John Brannen, who takes over after having much success at Northern Kentucky. However, the Bearcats appear to have a problem offensively if their first game is any indication as they shot only 33.3 percent in their 64-56 loss to Ohio State on Wednesday while holding the Buckeyes to 40.8 percent. Jarron Cumberland and Keith Williams led the Bearcats with only 13 points apiece, and the game stayed UNDER by 23 points. Drake has to replace its top three scorers from last season. The Bulldogs went UNDER in their opener beating Kennesaw State 86-55 and holding the Fighting Owls to 34.5 percent shooting. Drake is 6-2 UNDER its last eight non-conference games, and Cincy is 63-27 UNDER its last 90 non-conference games. Play the UNDER for a Max Play.
