Why Bet On Cincinnati?
Cincinnati might be a nearly double-digit underdog in the AAC championship, but there are a handful of good reasons to believe the Bearcats can at least cover the chalk. First, Cincinnati has won nine of their last 10 games. The bad news is that the Bearcats come into this title tilt off a discouraging 34-24 road loss against…you guessed it – Memphis.
However, with this being an immediate rematch, Cincinnati definitely has the revenge factor going for them. Then, there’s the fact that the Bearcats have gone 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings against Memphis and a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road dates against the Tigers. Last, but not least, Cincinnati has the better statistical defense in allowing just 21.0 points per game.

Why Bet On Memphis?
Despite the fact that they’re giving up almost 10 points as home favorites, there are plenty of good reasons to back the Tigers to win and cover the nearly double-digit spread. First, Memphis has won six straight games since suffering their only loss of the season. More importantly, the Tigers thoroughly dominated Cincinnati last weekend while never trailing.
Then, there’s the fact that Memphis also has the far more potent offense in this affair by averaging a stellar 41.5 points per game to Cincy’s more modest 29.4 points per contest. The Tigers have also gone a stellar 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games and an equally impressive 11-4 ATS in their last 15 conference games.

Cincinnati vs Memphis Expert Analysis and Prediction
I know the underdog in this rivalry has gone 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings and that a solid 62 percent of public bettors are currently backing the Bearcats to cover the chalk, but I’m just not seeing it happen, particularly after the way Memphis just delivered a bold, statement-making message to the Bearcats last weekend. Cincinnati has gone an uninspiring 2-4 ATS over their last six games while Memphis has gone 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. With a conference championship riding on the line and this title title going down at home, I like the Memphis Tigers to get it done!
