Late night in the Big 12 takes the stage when we get a top 25 matchup of two teams getting underway in a massive conference matchup.

The Cincinnati Bearcats (7-1, 5-0 Big 12) head west to take on the Utah Utes (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) from Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. The matchup carries gigantic Big 12 implications as the Bearcats are tied with BYU atop the conference, although a handful of teams are on their tails.

Cincinnati vs. Utah prediction, pick:

Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby may be the best quarterback in America who is not getting enough attention. On the year, Sorsby has 1,843 yards, but more impressively, has 20 touchdowns to just one interception. They will need him to play his best yet as they take on their toughest test yet.

Going to Utah is always tough. The Utes are an extremely physical team under Kyle Whittingham and are going to run the heck out of the ball. On the year, they have 2,137 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on the ground as a team. The Utes are going for 267 rushing yards per game.

The matchup to watch, though, is Utah's elite pass defense, which is giving up just 149 yards per game, going up against Brendan Sorsby. This is strength on strength.

Utah has held six opponents to 14 points or less. Cincinnati has been held to 34 points or fewer just twice. If the Bearcats can turn this thing into somewhat of a shootout, they get the advantage. They have to strike early and disrupt Utah's game plan to stay afloat in the Big 12. Otherwise, Utah can run the ball and is content grinding this thing to a halt.

Prediction: Utah 27, Cincinnati 21

Best Bet: Cincinnati +10
