4* Free 2024 Week 15 NCAA Betting Prediction: Ohio +2.5
While Miami snagged a 30-20 victory earlier this year, the Bobcats are out for revenge with momentum on their side. The RedHawks, slight favorites at -133, will lean on home-field advantage, but Ohio’s recent dominance in the series (13-5 SU in the last 18 matchups) makes this game a nail-biter.
Our projections have Ohio coming out on top with a final score of 23-21 over Miami (OH) in what looks to be a close matchup. With Ohio coming in as the +2.5 point underdogs, we like their chances to cover the spread and win straight-up.
For the over/under, with the line set at 44.5 points, our model is projecting a combined 44.
I’d pass on the total in this one, unless you think there’s a weather factor on the weekend that could impact the game. Expect fireworks and plenty of betting drama in this epic clash, that much I’m sure!
