With just a 17-15 record on the year, the Bradley Braves are extremely vulnerable against their Big East foe in the Bearcats tonight. Cincinnati went 8-5 ATS in all road games this season. Cincinnati is 13-6 ATS as an underdog this season. Cincinnati is 14-4 ATS after playing a game as an underdog this season. The Bearcats love the role of the dog. Bet Cincinnati on the road.
