Following a week off, Cincinnati Bearcats (6-1, 3-0 AAC) return to action against East Carolina Pirates (3-5, 0-4 AAC).

Season-to-date

After winning their 6th game at home, two weeks ago vs Tulsa, the Bearcats are already bowl eligible for the second consecutive season. With 5 regular season games remaining, there is a chance that Cincinnati appears in a very special bowl game. A win on Saturday will help them keep pace for that special game and also allow anyone who bet over 6.5 wins to cash in their bets.

After winning 9 games total over the last three seasons, ECU is now in their first year under coach Mike Houston, who was previously at James Madison, where he won the FCS National Championship in 2016.
