The Bowling Green Falcons and Miami of Ohio Redhawks face off on Thursday in a college basketball showdown.

The Bowling Green Falcons have found success this season but they have been a little more inconsistent as of late losing two of their last three games. In the last game against Akron, Bowling Green could only manage 57 points and that led to a 12 point loss. Overall this season, Bowling Green is averaging 79.2 points per game while the defense is giving up 73.5 points per game. Bowling Green is shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 33.9 percent from behind the three point line. Guard Justin Turner is the best player for Bowling Green and on the season he is averaging 20.4 points per game while shooting 41.8 percent from the field. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Miami of Ohio Redhawks who come into this game with a 5-4 record overall. And coming into this game they have won two of the last three games. In the last game against Ball State, the offense put up 81 points and that led to a pretty comfortable victory. Miami on the season is averaging 67.1 points per game while their defense is giving up 70.1 points per game. Miami is shooting 40.8 percent of the field and 36.4 percent from behind the three point line. Mekhi Lairy has been the best player for the Redhawks and coming into this game he is averaging 11.9 points while shooting 49.2 percent from the field. 

Bowling Green is 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games against the MAC. The under is 13-3 in M-OH’s last 16 games against the MAC. The under is 15-5 in the Redhawks last 20 games overall. 

Bowling Green’s offense hasn’t been as strong as of late, and that is going to lead to a lower scoring game. I don’t have a strong play on the side but this game is going to be low scoring enough that it stays under the total. Back the under.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
