Way Too Early Prediction

Before the season began, I’d have all the confidence in Cincinnati going into Philly and easily coming away with a win. But if game one is any indication, Matt Rhule has Temple on the right path. P.J. Walker appears to be a dangerous dual-threat quarterback and the team as a whole is well coached. The Owls could very well be in contention for an AAC title by the time UC comes to town in late November. As of now I’m taking the Bearcats by a touchdown or so but this won’t be an easy win for Cincinnati.
