Miami Ohio -2½ over Colorado State

Arizona Stadium – Tucson, AZ

Arizona Bowl

4:30 PM ET. The market is zigging, zagging, and tripping over itself in this one. Miami Ohio got obliterated in the MAC Championship, losing 38-3 to Ohio as a one-point favorite. Before that, they dismantled Bowling Green, defying public sentiment. Now, after that title-game embarrassment, the market has decided to zag away from the Redhawks in favor of Colorado State, making the Rams a trendy underdog.

When everyone loves the dog, it’s time to love the favorite. Colorado State’s recent 7-1-1 ATS run makes them feel “safe,” but safety is an illusion in betting. Miami Ohio is undervalued, and this is where the zig-zag cycle pays off. The Rams are a public darling, but their shiny ATS record is inflating their price. Miami Ohio is still the reigning MAC champ, motivated, and in a prime spot to bounce back.
