BYU at Cincinnati odds: Opening point spread released, How to Watch

With an opportunity to stay in the driver’s seat for a bid in next month’s Big 12 Championship game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, BYU hits the road for a Top 25 conference showdown against Cincinnati on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 8 pm ET on FOX.

Before they hit the field at Nippert Stadium on Saturday night, the 12th-ranked Cougars (9-1, 6-1 B12) opened the week as a 2.5-point road favorite over the 25th-ranked Bearcats, with an over/under total of 53.5 points, according to BetMGM.

Time: 8 pm ET
Channel: FOX
Location: Nippert Stadium, Cincinnati, OH

The Cougars bounds back nicely from last week’s 29-7 road loss at Texas Tech with a dominating 44-13 victory over visiting TCU to keep its hopes of making the Big 12 title game a reality. Of course, that requires closing out the regular season strong, including a road victory Saturday in Cincinnati.

Meanwhile, the host Bearcats have stumbled down the stretch with back-to-back losses to Utah (45-14) and Arizona (30-24) to fall completely out of the conference championship race. It’s been a rough few weeks for a Cincinnati program that rolled off seven consecutive victories — including a 5-0 start to Big 12 play — following a hard-fought season-opening loss to Nebraska (20-17).

As recent Big 12 additions, BYU and Cincinnati don’t have much of a history together. But what little history there’s been has been dominated by the Cougars, who hold a 3-0 all-time advantage in the series, including most recently a 35-27 win in Provo back in 2023.
