This is a 10* MAC TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the OVER Ohio/Miamo Ohio.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but I'm finally expecting a more wide-open "shoot-out" here on Tuesday night.

Ohio is 6-3, while Miami Ohio is 4-5.

Ohio actually saw the total go OVER the number in its 54-24 win at home over Buffalo last weekend. Ohio was a 2.5 point dog in that one, and destroyed the Bulls obviously. Previous to that it had seen the total go UNDER in two straight. Ohio is now tied with Toledo for the Conference lead, so the Bobcats will be keeping the foot on the gas from start to finish in this one. They average 33.4 PPG.

Miami Ohio is off a 27-9 road win at Akron as a 9.5-point favorite. It's seen the total go UNDER the number in seven straight and in nine of ten, but it's running out of chances to earn two more victories with just three games remaining.

For me, this one sets up great as a higher-scoring affair from an overall situational stand-point.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
