The sportsbook at 5Dimes Casino has set the over/under for the Cincinnati Bearcats’ win total for the 2015 season and it’s hilariously low at just 7 victories. That’s of course just the regular season, not counting the AAC Championship or bowl game.

As I’m looking through Cincinnati’s schedule, I don’t see where 5Dimes is getting 5 losses.

September 5th (Sat): Alabama A&M Bulldogs

Alabama A&M Bulldogs September 12th (Sat): Temple Owls

Temple Owls September 19th (Sat): @ Miami (Ohio) Redhawks

@ Miami (Ohio) Redhawks September 24th (Thurs): @ Memphis Tigers – ESPN

@ Memphis Tigers – ESPN October 1st (Thurs): Miami (Florida) Hurricanes – ESPN

Miami (Florida) Hurricanes – ESPN October 10th: BYE WEEK

BYE WEEK October 17th (Sat): @ BYU Cougars

@ BYU Cougars October 24th (Sat): UConn Huskies

UConn Huskies October 31st (Sat): Central Florida Knights

Central Florida Knights November 7th (Sat): @ Houston Cougars

@ Houston Cougars November 14th (Sat): Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Tulsa Golden Hurricane November 20th (Fri): @ South Florida Bulls

@ South Florida Bulls November 28th (Sat): @ East Carolina Pirates

A pretty challenge schedule but 5 losses out of that? Come on.

Alabama A&M, UConn, Tulsa, South Florida, all pretty much automatic wins right there. The Redhawks always play Cincinnati tough but lost their star cornerback to the NFL and quarterback to graduation. They should be just as easily dealt with by the Gunner Kiel aerial assault. Temple and Central Florida could be tricky but the Bearcats get both of them at home. If UC doesn’t win at least one of those I’d be shocked.

So there’s 6+ wins before even considering Memphis, Miami (FL), BYU, Houston, or East Carolina. While UC will have to go on the road to visit Houston and East Carolina, both are hitting the reset button, one by way of a coaching change and the other by losing a star quarterback. The Bearcats should be favored in both.

That leaves Memphis, Miami (FL), and BYU. I don’t think Cincinnati beats the Tigers this year and will lose one of their games to the Hurricanes or Cougars, probably the latter. Even if UC loses all of three they’re at 8 or 9 regular season wins, which I have to figure is the minimum for the Bearcats in 2015 and still more than what 5Dimes is giving them.

I just don’t understand how the sportsbook is setting the O/U at 7 but that shouldn’t stop you from taking advantage of it. If you have any amount of liquifiable assets, throw every cent at the over. Also only do this if you’re at least 21 years old. That’s pretty important, too.
