Over on the other sideline, the Bobcats head into Week 8 with records of 5-1-1 ATS and 5-2 SU. The Bulls are matching up with Ohio’s defense at an inopportune time. Over the last five games, Ohio’s opponents have only averaged 194.4 yards through the air. If the Bulls don’t do a good job holding on to the ball, they’ll have a hard time against the Bobcats defense, which ranks 22nd in the country in turnovers with 2.1 per game.
