The RedHawks enter 0-1, averaging 6 points per game this season. Running back Jordan Brunson leads the team in rushing, averaging 33 yards per game. QB Brett Gabbert is averaging 227 passing yards per game and is completing 59.46% of his passes. He has thrown two interceptions to start the season.

Wide Receiver Cade McDonald is averaging 105 receiving yards per game, while Kevin Davis and Reggie Virgil are averaging 32 receiving yards per game. Defensively, Miami(Oh) has 0 INTs and 0 sacks and hit the opposing quarterback twice. They are allowing 13 points per game.

Cincinnati

The Bearcats enter the game 1-1, averaging 32.5 points per game this season. Corey Kiner leads the team in rushing, averaging 100 yards per game. QB Brendan Sorsby is averaging 340.5 passing yards per game and is completing 63.77% of his passes. To start the year, he has thrown 5 TDs and 0 INTs.

Wide Receiver Xzavier Henderson is averaging 90.5 receiving yards per game and scored a touchdown. Joe Royer is averaging 69 receiving yards per game and scored a touchdown. From a defensive standpoint, Cincinnati has one interception and 5 sacks and hit the opposing quarterback 7 times. They are allowing 24 points per game.

Prediction

Cincinnati's pass game has been on fire to start the year, and I don't see the RedHawks being able to keep pace with them. Corey Kiner should have a solid day running against a defense that gave up 150 rushing yards to Northwestern.

If Miami(Oh) wants to win, Brett Gabbert needs to play flawlessly and get Cade McDonald rolling early. I just don't see a logical path for them to win this game, considering how well the Bearcats have played this season. Plus, Cincy has a bad taste in its mouth after losing a close one to Pitt last week.

Roll with Cincinnati to win and cover the spread with ease. The RedHawks secondary is liable to get torched in this one.

Final Pick

Cincinnati Bearcats -2.5 (-115)
