Cincinnati at South Florida
At this point the Bearcats should be 8-1 coming off two big wins against conference opponents. USF should be a little bigger test for the Bearcats. Last year when USF came to Nippert, Michael Warren II had a breakout game and it would be the perfect time for him to have another against USF. Warren II has had a pretty good season so far, but they really need to get “the Truck” going and keep him going. The offense tends to go off how Warren II plays, so if they can get him to get on a roll to finish out the season, they will be in good shape. UC should get a win at USF pretty easily. I predict the score will be 31-13, Bearcats on top.
Cincinnati vs Temple
The Owls are going to be big test for the Bearcats. Every year they put up a fight against the Bearcats. Temple was one of Cincinnati’s two losses last season. It was a close game that went into overtime resulting in a 24-17 score in Temple’s favor. The Bearcats are looking to avenge that loss and they have a huge advantage playing at home. Temple isn’t going to be an easy win like the games before. The Owls beat Memphis 30-28 when they were ranked 23, so the Bearcats need to be on top of their game to pull off the win. If the offense is plays well, they should have a good chance to win. I predict the Bearcats to win 24-14.
