Cincinnati vs Miami OH Prediction: Spread
The Bearcats are looking to bounce back after their loss to Georgia in their first-ever New Year’s Day bowl game. They had a perfect season last year and are looking to do it again. Their defense will be a major factor this season. Bryan Cook, a senior safety, will be one to watch this season in helping the defense.
Last season was his first full season with the Bearcats and recorded 26 tackles and 19 solo stops. He will be healthy this season and looking to help the Bearcats defense stop the Redhawks. The Bearcats defense last season was ranked 8th in fewest points and currently owns college football’s longest streak of most consecutive games forcing a turnover.

Prop Predictions
This game will be won by the Bearcats. With the home field advantage and crowd, they will just feed off the energy. With a season record of 9-1, they are looking to increase their current rank and find a way to make it into the college football playoffs.
The hunt is close for them and being in the 8th spot now it’s only a matter of time before they climb into the top 4. The team still feels the sting from the 24-21 loss to Georgia in the Peach Bowl last season. They are looking to come back this season with a better performance than ever.
