From the booth
The model favored CIN to win, and the call landed.
Cincinnati comes in as a solid favorite here at 74 percent to win, and look, the Bearcats have got multiple things working in their direction. The betting market's got them, Vegas has got them laying seven and a half, and on top of all that Cincinnati's just got the better roster top to bottom when you look at the Elo ratings. Boston College's got a shot at 26 percent, but they're gonna need to execute at a high level to pull off the upset in this one.
