Miami (OH) vs Cincinnati Odds
Cincinnati is the current 14.5-point favorite over Miami (OH), and the current total is set at 49.5.
Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Cincinnati -14.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Miami (OH) +14.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): Miami (OH) +14.5
The room split two to one on the dog. Sean and Colby both grabbed Miami (OH) and the 14.5 points, while Ryan laid it with Cincinnati.
Sean’s case is the classic rivalry read: in a series this old you lean to the underdog, and he compared the spot to Iowa against Iowa State, where you think twice before handing the lesser team two touchdowns. Colby is on the same side. He talked up Chuck Martin’s program at Miami (OH) staying in the MAC championship mix over recent years, and he acknowledged the quarterback situation is the shaky part. The guys noted Miami (OH) lost its starting quarterback for the season back in the preseason, so this is an early start for the fill-in, but Colby still thinks the RedHawks can stay within the number in a game that means everything to them.
Ryan is the lone voice laying the points. He pointed out that Cincinnati has run this rivalry of late, and he wasn’t moved by the argument that Scott Satterfield’s seat is warm despite the Bearcats starting the year strong.
