(846) SMU -4 over Cincinnati. 4:00pm ET. First, I have this game power-rated at SMU -5.57. While, it is tough to fade a Cincinnati team that has won 15 straight games, this is their first underdog role since they lost their last game at Butler back on December 10 (65-75 +3). SMU doesn't take a back seat to anyone as they have won 17 of their last 18 games. The Ponies are 14-2-1 ATS as a favorite this year, are 8-1 ATS at home and 10-1-1 ATS in conference play. In the first meeting back on January 12, Cincinnati won 66-64 but failed to cover (-4.5) and I liked what I saw from SMU in that game as they were +10 on the boards.
