Ohio vs Miami-OH Best Bet: Ohio ML +112

These two teams are more evenly matched than many may think. The Bobcats have been impressive all season long with a 9-3 record, but even then, one of the Bobcats’ three losses came to the RedHawks. It’s safe to say that Ohio will have a chip on their shoulder looking to prove their last matchup was a fluke. In what could be a close game, it won’t be a shock to see the Bobcats pull out the win at a neutral site.

Ohio vs Miami-OH Best Total Bet: Over 43.5

The Bobcats enter this game, averaging 28.5 points per game, while the RedHawks trail just behind, averaging 24.3 points per contest. Ohio and Miami (OH) have shown flashes on offense throughout the season, and in their last matchup, the total score reached 50 points. Assuming this game follows a similar script, a final score of 31-27 seems like a realistic outcome with a conference championship on the line.

Ohio Best Player Bet: Parker Navarro 70+ Rushing Yards +100

Parker Navarro enters as the starting quarterback for the Bobcats and has an opportunity to redeem himself from his poor performance against the RedHawks in their last battle. The quarterback has struggled as a passer all season, but he’s shined as a scrambler in Ohio’s offense. In a matchup that could require the team to lean on Navarro’s legs, it seems like a solid shot that he could exceed the 70+ rushing yard mark. The dual-threat QB has rushed for 100+ yards in the team’s last three games to end the season.

Miami-OH Best Player Bet: Reggie Virgil Any Time Touchdown +115

Reggie Virgil has been the top pass catcher for the RedHawks this season, and he’s often relied on to serve as a spark plug when the offense needs some life. The wideout is up to 787 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on the season, and in a battle where Miami-OH will likely prioritize the passing game, Virgil could be in line for a huge day.
