The Cincinnati Bearcats have a vastly different roster than their 2021 College Football Playoff team. Most important of all was the loss of record-setting quarterback Desmond Ridder to graduation and the NFL. But the Bearcats played a strong Arkansas Razorback team even on the road. And it could have beaten the SEC contender. The Indiana Hoosiers had a dream season in 2020. But that is looking more like a College football odds outlier. Indiana ranks below several teams in the Big Ten Conference. Cincinnati hosts revenge-minded Indiana on Saturday.

Indiana at Cincinnati SBG Odds Overview
Last year Cincinnati won a tough game against Indiana, and things were never the same for either team in 2021. But Cincinnati will get most of the online betting action as a strong home chalk off a playoff season.
Indiana Hoosiers Team Overview
Last week, the Indiana Hoosiers escaped 33-30 in overtime against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers as 7-point favorites. The game went over the total of 61.5. Indiana has a record of 3-0 straight up, 1-2 against the spread, and 2-1 over/under the total.
Connor Bazelak threw a touchdown pass and completed a 2-point conversion pass with 47 seconds left in regulation Saturday. Finally, Charles Campbell made a 51-yard field goal in overtime to give the Hoosiers a 33-30 victory over WKU. It’s the third straight second-half comeback for Indiana. IU has surpassed last season’s victory total.
But it took a 17-point fourth quarter, a late goal-line stand, and a missed field goal by Western Kentucky as time expired. And a blocked field goal in overtime. In turn, all of that set up Campbell’s winning kick.
For WKU, it was another sad chapter in this series. They fell to 0-5 all-time against the Hoosiers. And have lost the last three by a total of eight points. Also, they are 0-9 against Big Ten foes since joining the FBS in 2007. It looked like those losing streaks would end for most of the game. But the Hoosiers refused to go down without a fight and eventually won.
Cincinnati Bearcats Team Overview
Last Saturday, the Cincinnati Bearcats won 38-17 against the Miami-OH Redhawks as 24-point favorites. The game went over the total of 51. Cincinnati has a record of 2-1 straight up,1-2 against the spread, and 2-0-1 over/under the total.
In sum, Ben Bryant threw for 337 yards and two touchdowns. And Cincinnati scored 14 unanswered points in the second half to beat Miami-OH for the Victory Bell. Indeed, the 126th Battle for the Victory Bell ended in coach Luke Fickell’s 50th victory with the program. Cincinnati has won 16 straight against Miami to take its first lead in the series, 60-59-7.
Bryant connected with Nick Mardner on a 10-yard pass to put the Bearcats ahead 24-17 with just 13 seconds left before halftime. Late on, Bryant found Tyler Scott in stride for a 41-yard touchdown with 9:03 left in the third. Charles McClelland added 101 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
