Houston vs. Cincinnati: AAC Championship Prediction ATS
Very simply, when you back Cincinnati you can expect to pay a premium to do so. The Bearcats are a regular in March Madness and one of the most consistently touted teams in the American. As a result of this narrative, inflated point spreads usually accompany their name. This is especially the case when we find this team in a conference championship game. Nevertheless, the Cougars own some enormous advantages that can lead them to a victory. The Cougars are the more physical team on the boards, own a deeper bench, make smarter shots as they have an edge in field goal percentage, score more points per game, and capitalize more from behind the charity stripe. The calling card of the Bearcats is their physical defense. However, given the nature of this game and given the fact the team with more intangibles has the better price…taking the points is the way to approach.
