Cinci has everything to lose in this game. I agree that even the most ardent UC fan would be hard pressed to shine a halo of light on a thumping of a Big10 bottom feeder. Hell, if the game is CLOSE I could see many questions being raised as to Cinci's strength, both as a team as well as their schedule.

This is a bad game for UC at this point in time.

The only true victory (in other words, the only thing that could HELP UC) would be to hold Illinois to 7 or less and put up 35+

If UC let's Juice, Benn and or Leshoure/Ford get free and have big games, even with a victory, would raise big questions about how complete of a team UC is.

I predicted this on another thread. I agree with you.

Cinci has to win this game by more then 30 for me to believe they could play with osu. Illinois is in the dump. They have 3 wins and just no reason to play. So if Cinci doesn't destroy them, then they can't keep talking about being better then osu.

I like watching cinci play, they're fun and really good!! This is a put up or shut up game.

For some reason this game has the same feeling of the Illinois/OSU game from 2 years ago in the Shoe. Other than that Illinois team was a lot better than this year's, they can all but ruin a great season for a team.

Great to hear Speil's calling this game. After all he has gone through in the past week, I don't know how he is doing it.

Hooray. Good betting day so far with Rutgers -3 and Illinois +21.

Loving some of the spreads today. Mississippi State -3.5 against Richmond and Baylor -5 against Iona in basketball too. Hoping to clean up on those.

I've been predicting this for a few weeks, thought I would make it public.

And if Cincinnati wins, I will eat crow.
No reason to eat crow you made a prediction and stuck with it to many times on these boards posters will wait too after the fact to say anything.

Illinois played like crap half the time today and played like a ranked team another part. If they could have put 4 consistent quarters together, they could have beat Cincy. Cincy is a pretender. Pitt will expose them for the frauds they are next week.

Well, they play either Florida or Alabama in their bowl. I would be impressed if they lose by less than 30. We'll see if they can impress.
