Cincinnati Football: Oklahoma State opens as favorites over the Bearcats prior to kick off

According to the latest odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Oklahoma State Cowboys are 7.5-point favorites over the Cincinnati Bearcats prior to kick off.

It will be key for Bryan Brown’s defense to contain Oklahoma State’s offense that is led by quarterback Alan Bowman and star running back Ollie Gordon II.

Scott Satterfield’s team must get a quality showing from the offense and slow down the Cowboys from being able to create big plays on a consistent basis.

With a chance to snap the five-game losing streak, Cincinnati needs to find an offensive rhythm early and keep Oklahoma State’s offense under wraps.

During a weekly press conference, Satterfield broke down the recent skid and discussed the game plan against Oklahoma State via Cincinnati Athletics.

The matchup marks the fourth meeting between the new conference foes as the Bearcats try to get back on track following a frustrating start to Big 12 play.

"“I want our guys to play fearlessly. You can’t play thinking that you hope you don’t make a mistake. You can’t cut loose and play that way. I have seen guys do things on game day that they don’t do during the week this year. I want them to be coached fearlessly as well because when you cut loose in that way, you can be as good as your potential will allow. All you can do is go back, and continue to work and practice.”"
