Best bets - NFL & College Football Week (THURSDAY NIGHT GAMES)

**UPDATE** LOSING PLAY**
Louisville Cardinals @ Cincinnati Bearcats +4

FINAL SCORE: Louisville Cardinals 31, Cincinnati Bearcats 24. (OT) ...






Preview & Prediction:

The Bearcats come into this game on an impressive six game winning streak. The Cardinals may have Bridgewater, but it is the Bearcats offense that has a higher average. The Cardinals offense ranks 19th in the country with 307 yards per game, but the Bearcats check in at 17th with 314 yards per game. It could be argued that the Bearcats, not the Cardinals, are getting better play at quarterback. Brendon Kay threw for 386 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another in the last win over Houston. Kay can light up the scoreboard against any team in the country, and the Bearcats defense is also playing well. They successfully slowed down and beat a high octane Houston Cougars offense and will be up for the challenge against the Cardinals. 

In terms of past game stats, the Cardinals seem to be the better team. Only in passing and rushing do the Bearcats have an advantage, but even with those two areas they don't exceed the Cardinals in overall offense.

However, there's also some history between these two sides; in the last five times these teams met up, the Bearcats have won every game, even if some of the scores were very close...

Key Trends:

• Bearcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. 
• Bearcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on field turf. 
• Bearcats are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game.
