RJ's take: Well, former starting quarterback Evan Prater is playing wideout for the second year.

After becoming the first G5 team in history to receive a CFP invite, they made the move up and got beat down: 1-8 in Big 12 play in Year 1. And Scott Satterfield is still looking for a star to make himself known this 2024 season.

With a non-conference schedule featuring Towson, Pittsburgh and Miami of Ohio, and a Big 12 schedule without Oklahoma State, Kansas or Utah on it, 6-6 is within reach.

Cincinnati's Win Total Odds: Over 5 (-160) Under 5 (+135)
