COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Miami (OH) enters with a 2-2 record and a far stronger offensive output than Bowling Green, averaging 28.5 points and 387.5 yards per game, with 289.3 passing yards per game leading the way. Bowling Green is still searching for a win at 0-4 and has produced only 8.3 points per game while allowing 36.3 points per game. The Falcons have also been outgained badly in yards per play, while Miami’s defense has been much more capable of limiting opponents enough to keep this game from turning into a back-and-forth scoring race.
Miami (OH) should control this game from start to finish and win by a comfortable margin, but the better betting angle is the total. Bowling Green’s offense has been too limited to force a high-scoring script, and Miami’s stronger defense should be able to keep the Falcons well below their usual need to push the pace. A projected final score of Miami (OH) 31, Bowling Green 10 fits an under result and supports a home win that never feels close.
