\nBetUS LINE<\/strong>: Cincinnati -2<\/p>\n
Preview:<\/strong><\/p>\n Even in a somewhat pop-gun Big East conference, the Bearcats have surprised many by running the table in convincing fashion. The squad has a couple quality wins versus Oregon State and Illinois, but the final game of the season in Pittsburgh might be the stiffest challenge yet.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST CFB WEEK 14 GAMBLING PICKS FROM OUR TOP CAPPERS! \u2014><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Cincy’s attack has been rolling all season – at first QB Tony Pike was putting up award-worthy stats, and then when he went down to injury back-up pivot Zach Collaros stepped in and the offense didn’t miss a step. Collaros played so well, in fact, that there was some debate as to who ought to start when Pike returned. <\/p>\n Up-and-coming Bearcats coach Brian Kelly assured everyone that when fully healthy, Pike is the starter and the team answered by almost dropping 50 on their Big Ten opponent, Illinois. They looked very gutsy in a victory versus Notre Dame and narrowly fell short against an athletic West Virginia squad last week. The Panthers play some aggressive defense, leading the nation in sacks and landing in the Top 20 in turnover margin. To have success against unbeaten Cincinnati, the home side must pressure whoever is at quarterback for Cincy into mistakes and misreads. <\/p>\n They also must try to limit the impact of Bearcats WR Mardy Gilyard, a big-play in waiting.<\/p>\n With proper execution, the Panthers could beat Cincinnati in a battle of two fairly well-matched teams. The likely scenario, though, is that Cincy will gradually find some seams downfield and will be able to emerge from the regular season unscathed.<\/p>\n 2009 Team Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n Total Offense:<\/strong> Cincinnati 4th Total Defense<\/strong>: Cincinnati 47th Trends:<\/strong>
