CINCINNATI — The Bearcats face a similar underdog scenario again this week as they are currently 8.5-point underdogs to the Kansas State Wildcats football team on most major sportsbooks. The game total is set at 52.5 points.

The Bearcats are 4-5-1 against the spread after missing the number against Iowa State in yesterday's 34-17 loss. Kansas State also lost on Saturday and didn't cover as big favorites over Arizona State.

Cincinnati needs one win in its final two games to play postseason football as part of the bowl cycle. It wouldn't hurt to pull this upset while covering against TCU to finish above .500 against the number and on the field.
