4% Rotation #653: CBB Tuesday 4% Cincinnati Bearcats +100 @ Utah Utes @ 10 PM ET - The Bearcats are off their worst loss of the season and I fully anticipate a major bounce back effort here. They lost at BYU 80 to 52 but this was despite Cincinnati having 61 field goal attempts compared to just 49 for the Cougars. Simply put, it was just “one of those days” where seemingly anything that can go wrong does go wrong! BYU made a ridiculous 15 of 24 three pointers while Cincinnati was at other end of the spectrum as they made only 5 of 28 three-pointers! So when you look at the line on this game you see it opened at a pick'em even though Utah is at home plus has the better Big 12 record this season. This line essentially functions as an invitation to grab the Utes on their home floor. As such, in typical contrarian fashion, I am happy to pounce on the other side of this one and grab a Cincy side that will absolutely be fired up for a payback game after the unreal result at Brigham Young. Note that Utah has lost 6 of 9 games and one of the wins came in OT. Also, they have score an average of only 54 ppg in regulation time of last 3 games and confidence has to be down from that. Yes, the Bearcats are off an ugly game offensively too but this followed winning 2 of 3 games and scoring 69 ppg in those 3 games. Also, they have the better defensive numbers on the season and I am sure they are going to be in lockdown mode on defense after being obliterated by the 3-ball in that loss at BYU. This is a great spot to back a small road dog that will have most looking at the other side of this one. Hidden gem value here. 4% CINCINNATI +100
