Cincinnati at SMU

SMU has gone OVER in six of its last eight games due to lousy defense, which was epitomized by its 95-48 humiliation at Central Florida on Sunday. The Knights shot nearly 50 percent from the field and the Mustangs had no answers in the blowout loss. The first meeting this season went OVER when Cincinnati won 73-68 to put it OVER by 6.5 points and three of the last four meetings have gone OVER. SMU is 9-4 OVER its last 13 games following a loss and 4-1 OVER its last five after an ATS loss. This is a low posted total due to the Mustangs' terrible shooting against UCF, but they have to improve upon that performance in this matchup. The two teams average a combined 146 points per game. Take the OVER.
