Pitt coming off a loss to Youngstown St. and had trouble defending the spread. I predict that the Cats start a little sloppy, Pitt comes out fired up, and the game is close at the half. The Cats pull away in the second half for a 34-17 win.

Cincinnati wins 27-20, in a game that isn't as close as the score indicates.

Just don't think Pitt is very good
Pittsburgh had 6 players suspended for the YSU game.
With that being said, they're still horrible. We need to seal club this team.
Not a game we can afford to lose. Last thing I want, is to spend the season hearing how we're worse than an FCS team.

thought it was interesting to read Jones' take on Pitt...i fully expect the Cats to be hyped and hungry...super excited for kickoff!
Go Bearcats!

I have no idea how Pitt's loss will affect them for Thursday. That is an interesting wild card that could help or hurt us.
I don't love the matchup of trying to break in new DT's and a new MLB against a power running team, but they're going to be tested against VTech anyway so let's see what they've got. I think Munchie can go big against these guys through the air. The Pitt secondary doesn't impress me and I think the Bearcats will have a good game plan to have a killer passing attack on Thursday.
Ultimately, I think it's a fairly high-scoring game that will make us sweat. It's a thursday night game at Nippert though. I think we pull it out.
I will say 38-24 on a late TD to seal it.
