Massachusetts vs Miami (OH) Prediction
UMass has a couple of road wins, which includes a recent upset over Buffalo, but that defense leaves a lot to be desired and can’t be trusted against good teams. Miami (OH) hasn’t had the toughest schedule in the world but undefeated is undefeated and the RedHawks are 13-4 ATS on the season. That’s all we care about in this line of work. Miami (OH) wins and cashes tickets. There’s nothing left that needs to be said here. I’ll lay the points with the RedHawks.
