Patrick’s Picks

Cincinnati over 9.0, -130 (BetMGM)

Cincinnati may be breaking in new starters at quarterback, halfback and throughout the defense, but Luke Fickell is still the best coach in the AAC by a country mile, and there’s still only one conference opponent that can touch the Bearcats right now: Houston. And the Cougars aren’t on the schedule this fall.

Even if UC falls to Arkansas to open the season, it just isn’t likely to find three more losses needed for this bet to lose…
