The matchup
Ohio has not lost since its win over Kent State Golden Flashes, a 13-10 grind back on October 3. Since then the Bobcats have rattled off wins over Central Michigan Chippewas, Sacramento State Hornets, Eastern Michigan Eagles and Akron Zips, including a 48-7 blowout of Sacramento State. The most recent result, a 28-20 win over Akron on November 3, kept the streak alive on the road.
Miami (OH) has been far choppier. The RedHawks beat Central Michigan 28-27 and Akron 34-14 across weeks eight and seven, but their other two results in this stretch were losses — a 20-24 defeat to Bowling Green Falcons in week five and, most recently, a 31-34 loss to Buffalo Bulls at home on November 3. That loss is the one Miami carries into this game as it tries to right the ship in front of its own crowd.
Key matchups
Ohio's defense has allowed 195 points on the season, the fewest of the two units here, while piling up 265 points on offense. That gives the Bobcats a two-way edge going into Oxford.
Miami (OH) counters with an offense that has put up 247 points of its own, and the RedHawks have shown they can win tight games, including that 20-19 squeaker over Massachusetts Minutemen in week six. Whether that same offense can produce enough against Ohio's defense will go a long way toward deciding this one.
The pick
Ohio Bobcats are favored by 1.0, with the market pegging this as a 24-23 game and setting the total at 46.5. Ohio's six-game win streak and its 265-195 scoring split give the Bobcats the slight edge the number suggests.
Miami (OH) has the firepower to make it a fourth-quarter game at home, but a one-game losing streak against a team playing this well on both sides makes Ohio the pick, even by the slimmest of margins.
