Mountaineers vs. Bearcats Free Pick

Cincinnati cannot give up the amount of rushing yards they allowed 201 against UConn last week. They will have to contain Devine. The Mountaineers will be content to run the ball every opportunity the get. West Virginia’s offense is going to have to keep the high-powered Cincinnati offense off the ball with some ball control.
Defensively, WVU’s pass defense will have to tighten down on one of the most effective passing attacks in the NCAA.
West Virginia vs. Cincinnati Free Pick
Bearcats get the win at home.
