OHIO vs. MIAMI (MIA -2.5, 44)
PARKER NAVARRO OVER 140.5 PASSING YARDS
These two teams played back on Oct. 19 at Miami. The RedHawks won the game 30-20. Since then, Ohio is 5-0 SU and 5-0 ATS. The Bobcats are averaging 37.8 points per game and the defense is allowing just 10.8. One of the keys has been Ohio QB Parker Navarro. He's rushed for 100 or more yards in each of the last three games. He's also averaged 189.6 passing yards and has 14 total touchdowns.
Navarro's passing yards prop is set at 140.5 today. He's gone Over that in 4 of his last 5 games. Miami held him to 88 the first time around, but the RedHawks will once again be concerned with the Bobcats running game (216.9 ypg, 12th in the nation). As a result, I like Navarro to rise up and catch Miami for a few big pass plays and push this total Over.
MARSHALL @ LOUISIANA (LA -5.5, 58.5)
UNDER 58.5
Marshall has the best ATS record in college football - 10-1-1 ATS. They also have a coach - Charles Huff - that has one foot out the door. Huff is expected to become the next head coach at Southern Miss. That may affect how Marshall plays tonight.
On the other side, Louisiana lost starting QB Ben Wooldridge (Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year) to a broken collarbone in a loss to South Alabama on Nov. 16. The Cajuns do have an experience backup in Chandler Fields, who has started 14 games for Louisiana. Look for the Cajuns to focus on the run as they did in their final game against rival Louisiana-Monroe. The Cajuns ran for 223 yards in that game.
Marshall ranks 20th in the nation in rushing, averaging 200.4 yards per game. These running games will burn the clock which correlates with the Under. Five Marshall's last seven and five of Louisiana's last eight games have all gone Under the total.
WISCONSIN @ MARQUETTE (MAR -6.5, 150.5)
MARQUETTE -6.5
Both teams come into today's game fresh off their first losses of the season. Wisconsin lost 67-64 to Michigan in their opening Big Ten game. Marquette dropped an 80-71 decision at Iowa State. The Badgers John Tonje is the best player in the nation you haven't heard of yet. Marquette is experienced and Kam Jones is an emerging start.
This is also a revenge spot for Marquette. Wisconsin has beaten the Eagles in the last three meetings in a row. Marquette is tough to beat at home. They are 6-0 SU at home this season and they're good against the number too. Marquette is 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games at home. The Eagles have covered this number in 4 of their last 5 and 7 of their last 10 games.
