This game features teams heading in opposite directions as the Cincinnati Bearcats once considered a possible NCAA Tournament team, has dropped to 16-14. Rutgers dropped nine in a row, but has since come on finishing up at 6-5, so a much improved team. Back when they were playing poorly, they lost to this Cincinnati team by just 7, and I think they have bridged the gap between these teams. The Bearcats are not wearing the favorite label well as they are just 15-36-1 ATS in their last 52 as chalk and overall, are just 6-20 ATS in their last 26 Big East games. Rutgers at least stays close here, so they get the call.
