LOSS

Cincinnati has gone 9-1 at home but just 1-2 on the road and they are off an ugly loss. They now face a team that is undefeated at home, leading to this large spread. But are these teams really 10 points different? Marquette has the better offense but Cincy has the better defense, holding opponents to just 60.2 ppg (over 7 ppg less than Marquette). The Bearcats are coming off a bad-looking loss last game at Memphis. They shot just 12-for-46 from the field, yet they nearly covered the spread! This team is averaging 43% from the field on the season so you can bet another performance like that is not in the cards. Dating back to last season, Cincy is 13-4 ATS off a loss. They are 8-1 ATS off a road loss and 8-1 ATS off a double-digit loss over that span. That Memphis loss scares bettors but it actually makes them a great play today. This line is off and I like the Bearcats to keep it close.
