Cincinnati was down 28-7 to Miami (Ohio) in the Victory Bell game and still won it, which moved the Bearcats to 3-0 and, as the guys told it, annoyed a fan base that wanted Satterfield fired. Next up is Kansas State at Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, September 26 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET, with Kansas State favored by 6.5 and the total at 53.5. The full argument is in the College Football Picks Week 4 episode.

The segment opened with a prediction of 4-0 for the Bearcats and very little respect for the visitors. Kansas State looked bad against Tulane. Cincinnati, meanwhile, brought in a defensive coordinator from Army who should make that unit better as the season goes along. Put together, that was enough for Cincinnati +6.5 and a suggestion that the home team is live on the money line.
That drew an immediate “disagree” from across the table. The second Cincinnati vote came from a different place entirely, closer to superstition than film. Any time a fan base wants a coach gone and he keeps winning, the mojo tends to carry. The comparison was Nick Sirianni and the Eagles, whose fans want him out constantly while he keeps winning, with the admission that Satterfield is a much worse coach than Sirianni. A Cincinnati fan in the chat predicting a double-digit Kansas State win only made the Bearcat side more confident.
For the lone Kansas State pick, this was a case of overthinking a touchdown favorite. The argument was that the Kansas State quarterback isn’t going to mess up on the road, and that Kansas State simply wins by a touchdown. His last word: lay it.
