Cincinnati Football: Bearcats open as underdogs in season finale against Kansas
According to the latest odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Bearcats are currently slight underdogs against conference foe Kansas prior to the matchup tonight.
Both teams suffered disappointing losses last week but it should be an exciting game as the new Big 12 opponents prepare to meet for just the third time.
Cincinnati is coming off a blowout loss to conference rival West Virginia, and Kansas endured back to back losses after starting the season with a 7-2 record.
Kiner posted a game-high 129 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Pace totaled a team-high five tackles in the Bearcats recent win at Houston.
