Houston Cougars vs. Cincinnati Bearcats Betting Odds, Game Info and Picks

Bearcats Hope to Keep Rolling Against Clawless Cougars

Houston may be an American Athletic Conference “Group of Five” school. However, they have the financial backing that would make most Power Five schools envious. That’s how Houston got coach Dana Holgorsen to jump from West Virginia to the Cougars. Still, does Houston dream of becoming Power Five for College Football betting Games. Cincinnati is currently far ahead of Houston. What’s most interesting is Cincy does things the old-fashioned way. Under coach Luke Fickell the Bearcats go against today’s grain. Concurrently, they win by emphasizing defense and rushing. In view of this, Saturday’s matchup is one of the stark contrasts.
