Cincinnati's offense went bust last season, finishing on a 1-7 run. New coach Luke Fickell is a defense-first mind and was brought in this year. The 2017 offense is averaging 20 points per game and just 2.8 yards per carry. The strength of the Bearcats is on defense and Cincinnati is on a 17-5-1 run UNDER the total, as well as 74-48 UNDER on fieldturf. Miami of Ohio has no balance on offense, either, averaging 2.9 yards per carry after two contests. Miami of Ohio was a 35-point favorite last week, failed to cover, and is 49-26 UNDER the total after failing to cover the Vegas number. Look for more defense than offense, like last year's 27-20 Bearcats win when Cincy ran for 3.8 yards per carry and Miami, Ohio just 2.2 ypc. Play the UNDER.
