Fact of the matter is Notre Dame hasn't played anyone good on the road. Actually they have not played anyone AT ALL on a true road game (only a couple neutral court games vs mediocre opponents). One of which was Saint Joe's and Notre Dame lost by 9 in OT.
Your first true road game is a difficult experience especially 14 games into your season. You have no idea how they are going to handle it but my guess is they will struggle (as most teams do). Especially, since it is against a quality opponent.
Cincinatti has struggled lately (even at home) at putting up points. However their defense has been solid.
Bearcats are 0-2 in their last 2 home games but the losses were by 1 point in BOTH games.
I think they got a wakeup call and they should come out and win this game over a notre dame team that needs to adjust to playing on the road.
Play is Cincinatti -3.5
