Starting this week down the juice after going 6-6 last week.
Cincy (-4) over Pitt
Now Pitt has a game under their belt and should have plenty to work on this week after being embarrassed by Youngstown. Graham showed he is back but the penguins did a good job of slowing his completely down. The question... Can Cincy replace the group they lost on both sides of the ball. I think they have some talent but they won't be able to fill all the gaps. I really question the new starting bearcat qb. He is very good running the ball but I am not sure he is very accurate. The good news is he did get some action last year so he is not completely raw. The scrambling ability will be big because I'm not sure the bearcats offensive line will give him a lot of time. I look for him to make big gains with his feet. Well Pitt is a strange team to look at, they should have had no issues with the penguins even with the suspensions. Still Youngstown moved the ball without issue last week. They also shut down the Pitt defensive front. I think the inexperience for Cincy could hurt but I am sure they have enough talent to slow the panthers rush and open holes. The bearcats having film on Pitt could be huge, and if they game plan well and Pitt struggles I think you see some early season quit. I expect the panther to run the ball effectively but I also expect Cincy to for e Sunseri to beat them and I don't think he can. I can see points from both teams but I like the game plan Cincy brings. They have been a good team recently with a good coach and they have talent waiting for this opportunity. I like what I hear about the Cincy line backing group and running back. These two groups show a lot of promise. Lb could be huge for Cincy reading Sunseri and slowing the run. A lot of questions need answering for both teams but I like the expectations of Cincy compared to the performance of Pitt last week.
