Cincy should effectively pass the ball against the Pitt secondary, but might have a bit of trouble with the rush. On the other hand, Pitt should have no trouble getting into the Cincy red zone 5-6 times. I see this game going the opposite of the extremely low-scoring defensive dual we typically see between these two teams (if Cincy decides to show up), and 45-50 points be put up. I say Pitt takes the game 27-24. My play: Pitt over 23.5.
