The current betting odds have Miami-OH listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Miami-OH has looked great in their games this season with their 26-0 record overall and their 13-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the MAC. They have looked great on their home court too with their 14-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, Bowling Green hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 16-11 record overall and their 7-7 conference record which has them right in the middle of the MAC. They haven't been a great road team either with their 5-5 road record this year. Bowling Green hasn't been a bad team in the MAC this season, but they haven't been a great one either and have been really up and down all season. They are 3-2 in their last 5 games, but they are off a bad home loss to Kent State in their last one. Miami-OH has looked great all season though. They have the longest active win streak in the nation and they are the only undefeated team left in the nation too. They are off a win over UMass in their last one and they have been crushing opponents lately with a lot of wins coming by double digits. There aren't many good teams in the MAC to challenge this Miami-OH team either, and Bowling Green isn't going to be the team to take them down here on the road. The best way to place a bet here is on Miami-OH to cover the spread in this game.

"You look at it and you overanalyze it and you say, 'These looks are the same,' you get some clean ones. But that's how it goes. We shot it really well Saturday (vs. Toledo), and (Tuesday) not so much." - Todd Simon on his team’s upcoming game against Miami-Ohio.

"Our group of boys just kind of stays flatline. We don't get too high or too low. We're unflappable. I think that's what makes our group really good, especially in tight moments." - Travis Steele on his team still being undefeated.
