Butler at Cincinnati

Butler will have a tough test on the road at Cincinnati. The Bulldogs are putting up a lot of points but that is skewed by their 144-point throttling of The Citadel in their opening game. Butler hasn't really been tested, outside of a loss to Miami, 85-75, as a +3 dog. Butler only collects offensive boards on 26.9% of opportunities and will struggle on the offensive glass against Cincy. Butler is on a 0-3 ATS run and this is their first true road contest. The Bulldogs are 3-7 ATS following a straight-up win. The unbeaten Cincinnati Bearcats will dominate in the paint with their experienced forwards and home court edge. They also beat George Washington, a team that went out and beat the Virginia Cavaliers and Tennessee Volunteers. The Bearcats are averaging 80 points per game while the fierce defense is allowing 54.6 ppg, so grab the undefeated home team and play on Cincinnati.
