Miami of Ohio hasn\u2019t parlayed last season\u2019s success into much of anything this year.\u00a0 This is the final game of the year and they have no chance of going to a bowl game or even spoiling the season for their opponent.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Miami (Ohio) Redhawks vs Ohio Bobcats<\/strong> Miami<\/strong><\/p>\n They are on the road too so it will be interesting\u00a0 to see what kind of energy and effort the RedHawks can muster.\u00a0 How they play could be an indicator of the direction of the program in the years to come.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The Redhawks started slow this year and never really got into a groove.\u00a0 A primary reason for their lack of success was in the trenches.\u00a0 This team just can\u2019t run the ball, averaging only 75 yards per game, with an astonishingly low 2.4 yards per carry.\u00a0 With QB Zac Dysert and WR Nick Harwell they can move the ball through the air but not well enough to put fear into a defence especialially with Dysert among nation leaders in interceptions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n These two teams used to finish their season\u2019s squaring off against each other but that has not been the case for a couple of years.\u00a0 That is probably good news for Miami because they have been dominated by Ohio losing 5 straight to their in-state conference rivals.\u00a0 The last time they beat them was also their last road win in the series back in 2005.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Ohio<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bobcats are in a nice spot to close out the season.\u00a0 They have already punched their ticket to MAC championship game so they can use this game as a tuneup instead of having to fight it out to the end…if they like.\u00a0 If the way they have dominated Miami the past few seasons is any indicator, they might have been resting their players anyway.\u00a0 Only one in the last 5 games has been as close as 9 points.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n As I have written before the thing that really stands out for Ohio this year is the Bobcats balance on offense.\u00a0 This team could always run the ball with Tyler Tettleton at the controls they are in the top 40 in passing offense too. Not only does this make them harder to defend but it gives them a chance when they are in a comeback role like they were last week edging Bowling Green by a point on the road.<\/p>\n Ohio has been really solid all season long but they have been coming up a bit short for bettors at just 5-6 ATS.\u00a0 With so little at stake in this one it is probably best to steer clear of this side because you just don\u2019t know how much their key players will play.\u00a0 Ohio is likely to be the dog in the MAC championship though, depending on that number I like their chances to play spoiler.<\/p>\n ATS Pick:\u00a0 Miami<\/strong> CFB Handicapping: Miami Redhawks vs Ohio Bobcats Miami of Ohio hasn\u2019t parlayed last season\u2019s success into much of anything this year.\u00a0 This is the final game of the year and they have no chance of going to a bowl game or even spoiling the season for their opponent.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":25206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45868"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45869,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45868\/revisions\/45869"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
