Will update complete this evening.
In a nutshell Week Two was a disaster. Took a ton of dogs with presumed value and most of them failed miserably to deliver. A couple of tough beats but that's life. Survived with about a 22 Unit loss which means probably down 16 units or so for the year. Once again complete update to come later.
Thursday Game:
A different Cincy team this year in the sense that they are much more committed to the run after the change from Kiel to Hayden Moore. I think Moore is a nice player and Cincy looked okay against UT-Martin and the score was convincing against Purdue. However, that game was considerably closer than the score indicates as Cincy was +5 in turnover margin . Houston blanked Lamar last week by simply running the ball drown their throats. They showed the ability to move the ball in the air with Ward against Oklahoma. That will be a necessity tonight as well as I expect Cincy to load the box and force the Cougs to beat them throw the air. I think the major difference is Ward (provided he is healthy) and this Cougar defense which I think is really....really good. Cincy isn't running the ball tonight. OU couldn't run the ball with Mixon and Perinne...Cincy isn't running it with Green and Boone. The defense forces Cincy to be one-dimensional and the Cougs win by 2+ TDs.
Prediction: Houston 33 Cincy 17
Houston -7.5 (3.0 Units)
Cincy TT Under 29.0 (1.4 Units)
