Tonight
To be honest I was expecting this line to be around 4 and I was a little shocked when it came out 6 and then bet up to the 7.5 range. In my opinion the 7 points is a lot of points to be giving to a team that has excelled throughout the year on both sides of the ball and has played a solid non conference schedule. I have watched both teams play at least three times a piece and feel that both teams are more than capable of winning this game outright, BGSU has allready won on the road at Purdue and had Ohio State on the ropes until the final gun sounded, on the other hand it's hard to not pay attention to what Miami has done on the road in beating a solid Colorado State team and knocking off a average Northwestern. Other key factors going Miami's way are: 1) they have dominated this series, Hoeppner has never lost to BGSU going 3-0, 2) a strong rotation at the running back spot with Murray and Smith, allowing the Hawks to own the 4th quarter, 3) home field advantage, Yager Stadium is one of the toughest venues for a visiting team in the MAC, 4) Big Ben, what more needs to be said about Ben, the Buckeyes must of been asleep at the wheel to not have landed this kid. 5) An experienced head coach going against a first year mentor. Even with all of the advantages going Miami's way I am going to lay my Benjamin's on the Falcons tonight, I think that the team has allready played in some tough road venues so they should not be overwhelmed tonight, Harris is a witch with the ball and will create matchup problems for the miami defense, a defense that has been solid throughout the year. My gut feeling on this game is that it is going to come down to which team can establish a running game and control the clock, both teams can throw the hell out of the ball but whomever controls the ground will win this game.
