Miami-OH vs Bowling Green Prediction 

These two teams come into this matchup with 6-1 records in conference play and the winner of this game will go to the MAC Championship game in Detroit. Miami has played fantastic defense in recent games, as they have allowed nine points or fewer in three of their last four games. The RedHawks have won six games in a row, but they will be on the road here. Bowling Green has won four games in a row and they have allowed 13 points or fewer in three of their last four games. This should be a great game between two very good defenses, but I think Bowling Green is going to really struggle to get points. Take the RedHawks to get the win.
