Without question all eyes will be on Cincinnati and Houston this week. Will the Bearcats be able to protect the ball against Houston’s defense? That will be key because I do believe they will move the ball effectively on Saturday.
I am a whopping 14 for 64 through nine weeks, just under 25% for the season. For a refresher on my scoring system, click here.
