Ohio vs Miami Ohio Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
Miami (OH) -10.0(-109)

Friday serves up a typical thin slate of games, but among them is the undefeated Miami RedHawks as they host the Ohio Bobcats in MAC play. The story here, of course, is that the RedHawks are the last remaining unbeaten team in the country, and we are all starting to ask the question of whether they can run the table in the regular season. The MAC is certainly a soft conference, and they already beat the only real threat to them (Akron), so they have a shot. I see very little in the Ohio profile that would suggest they would be the ones to end the streak. Indeed, I don’t think Ohio can keep it close, so I am taking the RedHawks -10.

The thing with Miami is that, undefeated or not, it really isn’t all that great. The metrics sites have the ‘Hawks checking in around 80th nationally, which is not even the highest among MAC teams. That honor belongs to Akron, which is in the 60s. In Miami’s past 6 wins, 4 of them have been by only 2 points or in overtime — so it isn’t like this team is obliterating its conference competition. Still, there is no logical reason to expect the Bobcats to end the streak — or even play close. Ohio checks in outside the top 200 nationally. The Bobcats play fast but poorly, ranking outside the top 200 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They don’t rebound well or create many turnovers, the things you would want from an upset-minded team. Plus the game is at Miami. Unless the RedHawks just crumble under the pressure of national attention for some reason, I don’t see a path here. Give me Miami -10.

Ohio vs Miami (OH) prediction: Miami (OH) -10 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
