Southern Miss (7-5) vs. Cincinnati (9-3)
December 22, 1 p.m. (ESPN2)
Larry Fedora is now the head coach of the fighting Brett Farves, and he'll have his hands full in his first task.
The Bearcats put together a fantastic season with wins over South Florida and Rutgers to brag about. Each of their losses were by just a score (West Virginia, Louisville and Pitt).
Cincy quarterback Ben Mauk, one of the country's top passers, will have a party against a very average pass defense.
The Bearcats got it done this year with special teams and turnovers, in addition to Mauk. Southern Miss makes its offensive bones running the ball with Damion Fletcher, which is almost a blessing in disguise for Cincy, who cannot stop the pass.
The line: Cincinnati -10.5
The pick: Cincinnati
