Miami (Ohio) at Bowling Green picks and predictions
Prediction
Miami (Ohio) 19, Bowling Green 13
Moneyline
MIAMI (OHIO) (+115) is worth a look as a short ‘dogs on the road at Bowling Green (-138).
The Redhawks have won 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series, and Miami has been on fire with 6 straight wins. The Redhawks have a lot of talent on offense. QB Brett Gabbert has thrown for 2,355 yards, 18 TDs and 8 INTs, while RB Keyon Mozee has rushed for 937 yards, 6.6 yards per attempt and 3 scores, and WRs Reggie Virgil and Javon Tracy are a solid 1-2 punch downfield.
Against the spread
Back MIAMI (OHIO) +2.5 (-104) with the little bit of points, if you feel it will be a close game determined by 1 or 2 points.
Miami has covered 4 of the past 6 games during the win streak, while Bowling Green -2.5 (-118) have covered 3 of the past 4 outings. We’ll back Miami, simply based on its dominance in the series in recent years.
Over/Under
UNDER 38.5 (-110) is an awful low number in this day and age of college football, however this is a throwback game.
The Under has cashed in 6 of the past 7 games for Bowling Green, allowing exactly 13 points in each of the past 3 games, while allowing 17 or fewer points in 5 of the past 6 contests.
Miami has allowed only 16 total points in the past 2 games, and it has allowed 14 or fewer points in 4 of the previous 6 outings. This is going to be a low-scoring affair.
