The line opened at Cincy -2.5 and I think that's an accurate line. There was no early sharp action on this game -- the number has moved up slowly since release, I'm guessing due to opinions like yours and the fact that Cincy played a weekday TV game last week where they covered. Tulane doesn't have a great defense (but decent), in spite of some low-scoring games, but Cincy's is even worse. Tulane should have enough success passing the ball to keep this one close.
Yeah I know how bad SMU is, trust me, they alone have won me a few hundred bucks. But I watched Tulane play against uconn and it was a 12-3 win I think....granted uconn went to east Carolina and played a great game against them, but I'm not sold Tulane has what it takes offensively to hang with cincy. Cincy just came off a 34-17 win against USF who hung in there all game against Wisconsin and played good defense against one of the nations best rushing attacks. Makes me think cincy is "starting" to improve defensively. Key word there is starting. I'm not sold one way or the other but I like the input guys. I'll wait on the line and see if it keeps rising in favor of cincy. If it does I'll try to catch Tulane at +7
fwiw teams with a decent offense have done well vs Tulane recently:

Good input from roll tide. Your statistical figures are crazy man. That's some deep stuff. I like the dudes point tho as well. I wasn't aware that munchie legaux was even healthy let alone a consideration. I'll look into some more. My gut tells me that if gunner Kiel starts it's a rather easy cover for the bearcats. If there happens to be a dual qb system then I'm laying off the game completely
I like Tulane here. Tanner Lee will be back and like him much better than Montana. Kiel hurt. Tulane with the Bye week playing on Halloween night. Don't see Cincy getting up for this games especially with the Pirates on deck next. I think it is a good line and not surprised it the Green Wave take it.
