Cincinnati vs South Florida College Football Odds, College Football Picks & College Football Predictions: College football fans will be treated to a Top 25 battle between Big East rivals tomorrow night as Cincinnati and South Florida square off at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. Both teams are undefeated and tied for second behind Pittsburgh in the conference standings. The game is set to get underway at 7:30pm ET on ESPN. College Football Odds at BetUS.com have the Bearcats listed as a -3 against the spread favorite.

Cincinnati improved to 5-0 on October 3rd, beating Miami (OH) 37-13 at Yager Stadium in Oxford, Ohio. The Bearcats had Cincinnati vs South Florida College Football Odds, Picks & Predictionstheir typical offensive production, posting 21 first downs and 434 total yards as quarterback Tony Pike completed 23-of-42 passes for 270 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Cincinnati's rushing attack also contributed with 164 yards, led by Jacob Ramsey, who carried the ball 12 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns.

The Cincinnati defense held the Redhawks to 316 total yards, but they did give up 23 first downs and allowed seven third down conversions. It marked the second game in a row that the Bearcats defense had trouble getting off the field as Fresno State racked up 25 first downs and converted 12-of-20 third downs against them the weekend prior.

Head Coach Brian Kelly is hoping his team can get that problem corrected with the conference season just getting underway.

"We've got some very good players on offense and can score points," Kelly said. "We've got to get off the field on third down (on defense). I guess one way would be to slow down the scoring drives, but I'd rather just score quickly."

South Florida moved to No. 21 in the latest AP Poll after improving their record to 5-0 last Saturday with a 34-20 win at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York. The Bulls did not have the most impressive offensive outing, producing 14 first downs and 333 yards, but freshman quarterback B.J. Daniels continued his solid play. Daniels, who took over as the starter when Matt Grothe suffered a torn ACL against Charleston Southern, completed 12-of-20 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns.

South Florida's defense stole the show against the Orange as it picked off quarterback Greg Paulus five times and also recorded three sacks. They also held Syracuse to an average of 2.5 yards per carry. Senior defensive end George Selvie is hoping they can come up with a similar effort against the high-powered Bearcats. Selvie has never tasted victory against Cincinnati as Kelly's squad has won three straight against the Bulls.

"It's kind of personal," Selvie said. "I know we've beaten Cincinnati, but I've never had a chance to actually beat Cincinnati myself. This is my senior year...it's a real big game for me, and I want to win this one."

College Football Odds Betting Trends: South Florida is 5-1 straight up and against the spread in its last six games as a home underdog with a spread between 0 and 3.5.
