Two teams from the AAC will be squaring off when the Cincinnati Bearcats visit the Navy Midshipmen.
Cincinnati is coming off a win and Navy is coming off a loss in week 7.
It started off with the Bearcats as 26.5 point favorites and that number has gone up to 27.5. The total has stayed right around 49.
Cincinnati Bearcats
The #2 team in the nation has played very well this year. We knew this team would be good, but I am not sure anyone had them being second in the country. This has been a very impressive team so far.
The Bearcats crushed UCF last Saturday by a score of 56-21. They easily covered the large spread in that game.
Desmond Ridder continues to play at a very high level. On Saturday, he was 13/23 for 140 yards and 1 touchdown. I look for him to have a very good game against the Midshipmen.
Saturday was all about the running game. Jerome Ford ran the ball 20 times for 189 yards. I look for him to get a lot of touches on Saturday.
The defense has also been quite good for this team. The unit has allowed 24 points in their last 2 games. I do not expect them to allow many points against Navy.
Navy Midshipmen
The Midshipmen have not had a great season so far, but I cannot say I am surprised. This is a team that did not have very high expectations for the 2021 season.
This is a squad that is coming off of a loss to the Memphis Tigers by a score of 35-17. They were never really in that game.
In the loss to Memphis, there was not a lot of passing that took place. Quarterback Tai Lavatai was 3/4 for 27 yards. This makes sense because this is not a team that relies heavily on the passing game.
Isaac Ruoss ran the ball 18 times for 75 yards. He was the leading rusher on the day. I am sure they will look to run the ball a lot against the Bearcats. Whether they are successful or not is another question.
The defense, which has been good in past years, has not been great this year. I do not expect them to have much success against that explosive Cincy offense. It would really shock me if this unit can slow them down.

Free Week 8 NCAA Football Pick
I like the Bearcats to cover the spread of 27.5 here.
I do not see this game being close at all. I feel it will be a laugher in no time.
4* Free Week 8 NCAA Betting Pick: Cincinnati ATS
Yes, 27.5 is a high number to lay here, but I feel good about it. I am going to get it now before it jumps any higher.
I look for the Bearcats to keep rolling here. I do not see their offense slowing down in this game. They should be able to feast on a weak defense for the Midshipmen. On the other hand, I have no idea how this Navy team will score given how stout the defense for Cincy is.
Give me the Bearcats laying the points here.
