No. 6 Utah went to Cincinnati on Saturday and won 49-25, and the Utes are 7-0. We had Utah -6.5 on the road as our Bama Hat Guarantee. They won by 24. That’s the cover. 🙌

Devon Dampier ran the show: 22 of 29 for 260 yards and two touchdowns. Hunter Andrews caught five passes for 112 yards and a score, and Wayshawn Parker added 82 rushing yards and a touchdown on just seven carries.

Cincinnati (5-2) had its moments. Cole Tabb ran for 131 yards and a touchdown. But this one was out of reach long before the Bearcats’ late score.

Where the Saturday picks stand: 3-1 so far after Texas Tech and Duke covered and SMU didn’t. The Fade, Indiana -19.5 vs. Minnesota, went to overtime tied 16-16 after two 60-yard field goals in the last 19 seconds, so that one isn’t happening. Still to come tonight: No. 2 Ohio State -7 at USC.

Scores and stats from ESPN. Lines are ours, as of when the column was written.
