The East Carolina Pirates were upset on the road at Temple in their last game, and they will look to bounce back at Cincinnati tonight. The Bearcats are coming off three straight wins, and they are expected to get starting quarterback Gunnar Kiel back from injury tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Turnovers - The Pirates fumbled the ball five times in the loss to Temple, and they'll have to do a much better job of protecting the football tonight.

2. Home Cookin' - The Bearcats are 3-1 at home so far, while the Pirates are just 2-2 on the road. East Carolina is 3-10 ATS in it's last 13 road games versus teams with a winning record.

3. X-Factor - The home team has covered the spread in seven of the last eight in this series.

Selection: This is a play on Cincinnati Bearcats (8*)
