No. 2 ranked Cincinnati football will take on the Tulane Green Wave this Saturday at 12 p.m. ET. The game will be aired on ESPN 2.

The Bearcats are coming off what was easily their worst game of the season against Navy last week. They struggled against that triple-option offense that entire game and never could really break out for any big plans either. It was a poor performance both offensively and defensively for Cincinnati.

So I know they will be looking to put that game behind them and do everything in their power to dominate Tulane. After all, Cincinnati has to impress the playoff committee at all costs and can’t have any more close calls like last weekend.

Tulane, on the other hand, is not having the same type of season as Cincinnati. The Green Wave are 1-6 and have lost their last five games. They’re the only team in the AAC who hasn’t won a conference game yet. It’s the first place team in the conference vs the worst place team.

Here are three bold predictions for Cincinnati versus Tulane.
