Even though the inaugural Big 12 campaign has been underwhelming, the Cincinnati Bearcats are hoping to cap it off with a win over the Kansas Jayhawks!
Kansas is led by star running back Devin Neal, wide receiver duo Lawrence Arnold and Quentin Skinner, cornerback Mello Dotson and safety Kenny Logan Jr.
Scott Satterfield’s team should stay within striking distance but it will be difficult to pull off the upset over a quality opponent in the regular season finale.
The Bearcats opened as 6.5-point underdogs against Kansas with the over/under currently placed at 57.5 total points according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
