Bowling Green is 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record, and 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games. The over is 5-0 in Bowling Green’s last 5 road games. Ohio is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. The over is 6-1 in Ohio’s last 7 home games. The under is 4-1 in these two team's last 5 head-to-head meetings in Ohio.
Ohio comes into this game playing very well, and has scored at least 32 points in four of their last five games. Bowling Green got blown out by Kent State two weeks ago, but was able to bounce back with an upset of Toledo in their last game. Neither defense has played very well this season, so we should see plenty of points in this game. I like the over here.
