Miami-OH vs Cincinnati Prediction
This is a tough one, but this line has me leaning towards Miami-Ohio. I haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Cincinnati defensively, giving up 20 in their season opener to Towson before falling apart against Pitt. Miami-Ohio always has a tendency to get up for these games and I think they’re up for another upset of one of their big boy rivals. Give me the RedHawks and the points.
