Cincinnati vs. Utah Best Bet

In a game that has Big 12 Title game implications, some fans may be surprised to see the Utes are 10-point favorites over the Bearcats of Cincinnati.

Although #17 Cincinnati is ranked higher, the Utes have one of college football's best home field advantages at Rice-Eccles and that'll only be amplified at night. Furthermore, Utah has some of the best underlying metrics in the nation.

Via CFB-Graphs, the Utes are the #9-ranked team in the nation judging by the team's average EPA per play on offense and defense, while Cincinnati comes in at #35.

So, instead of attacking the spread, we'll look to a player prop. Junior Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby has taken a leap throwing a ridiculous 20 TDs to just 1 INT on the season. His play has garnered legitimate draft buzz - the Bearcats will lean on him to try to pull the upset.

In a potential negative game script, I expect Sorsby to use his legs early and often. This Utes defense has been tough, but has been leaky against mobile QBs. BYU's Bear Bachmeier rushed for 64 yards, Jeff Sims of ASU had 66 on the ground, while Will Hammond of Texas Tech had 61 yards off the bench.

Without RB Evan Pryor, Sorsby's legs will be that much more important.

Cincinnati vs. Utah Best Bet: Brendan Sorsby Over 40.5 Rushing Yards
