The Baylor Bears will head out on the road to face off against the Cincinnati Bearcats at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Nippert Stadium. Baylor is expected to lose this one by two points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.
Baylor gave up the first points and the most points two weeks ago. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 39-14 punch to the gut against Texas Tech. Baylor was down 24-3 at the end of the third quarter, and things only got worse from there.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their fourth straight loss. They suffered a grim 30-10 defeat to Iowa State. Cincinnati didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
The losses dropped Baylor to 3-4 and Cincinnati to 2-5.
In addition to losing their last games, the two teams failed to cover the spread. Looking forward, Cincinnati is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by two points. This contest will be Baylor's fifth straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 2-2 against the spread).
