Louisville Looks to Snap Modest Skid against No. 22 Cincinnati<\/h2>\n

The 22nd-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats (7-2 SU, 4-4 ATS, 4-4 O\/U) have won two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook.\u00a0The Louisville Cardinals (5-4 SU, 4-4 ATS, 3-5 O\/U) have dropped each of their last two contests for NCAA college football sports betting buffs. <\/p>\n

The Bearcats are coming off two impressive straight up and ATS wins and will look to extend their current streak \u2013 as well as Cincinnati\u2019s – on Friday when they battle at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati recorded a thrilling 26-23 victory over West Virginia, winning in overtime on quarterback Tony Pike\u2019s 2-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kazeem Alli in overtime to cover the spread as 10-point road underdogs in the BetUS Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

Just one week after knocking off then-No. 24 South Florida 24-10 on Oct. 30, Pike completed 15-of-30 passes for 165 yards and rushed for one touchdown in addition to the game-winning touchdown pas while running back Jacob Ramsey added 83 rushing yards on 18 carries.<\/p>\n

Now, the Bearcats take on the Cardinals as they look to end a five-game losing streak against Louisville while continuing their push for their first Big East title.<\/p>\n

“A lesser team would’ve folded under those circumstances,” second-year Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly said. “It was just a great football game, one that we knew that we had to win if we wanted to talk about being a Big East contender.”<\/p>\n

Cincinnati will take on a Louisville team that has dropped two consecutive games and put on a pitiful display in its 41-7 road loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Hunter Cantwell completed 15-of-28 pass attempts for 164 yards with one touchdown and one interception but the Cardinals committed four fumbles, losing three of them while failing to cover the spread as 6.5-point road underdogs.<\/p>\n

“We’re 5-4 and two weeks ago everybody loved us. Now, nobody loves us,” Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe said. <\/a>“That’s the nature of this business and the nature of football.”<\/p>\n

Cantwell had one lateral pass scooped up and returned for a score, was twice replaced by redshirt freshman Matt Simms, who completed 4 of 10 passes for 39 yards.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at the key trends for each team, followed by my in-depth analysis and NCAA-F Odds:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/strong> The Cardinals clearly aren\u2019t what they used to be! I\u2019ll keep this pick short and get right to the point by saying that I fully expect the Cincinnati Bearcats to end their long losing streak to Louisville despite being on the road in this matchup.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the \u00bd-point scare you NCAA college football bettors, take the Bearcats to win handily.<\/p>\n
