UCF Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Cincinnati in Week 6

2. Bearcats cause a scare

This AAC matchup has all of the makings for a really good game that could come down to the wire. The Bearcats showed up in a big way on the road against Marshall last week and really looked like an improved team week to week. The Cincinnati star quarterback Desmond Ridder looked more comfortable than ever against Marshall, throwing for four touchdowns and completing 18-of-22 passes.

Mix the Bearcat hot streak with playing at home against a ranked UCF team, and you are going to have something behind you. Although it may not be enough to beat the Knights, Cincy may just have something going at least in the first half to make UCF worried just a bit.

The Bearcats will have to win the turnover battle, especially with such a disciplined team like UCF. There are not going to be many chances Cincy gets to expound upon in this game, so they will have to take whatever they can get. Expect the Bearcats to really give UCF a scare, at least for a bit with the crowd rocking.
