Eastern Michigan vs Miami (OH) Pick, Betting Analysis
Miami (OH) is one of three MAC teams (Western Michigan, Buffalo) that are undefeated in league play this season. The RedHawks won both of their games on the road (Northern Illinois, Akron) and now return to Yager Stadium for their conference home opener against Eastern Michigan.
The Eagles are just 2-5, but they've lost four games by six points or less, including a one-point overtime defeat against Buffalo at the start of October.
Regardless of the results of these two teams, we're avoiding the spread. A system created by our very own Evan Abrams — "Home Fave Unders" — likes the under as the best bet for this game.
The system has a strong 14% return on investment (ROI) all-time and a 4% ROI this season alone (11-9 record).
"Home Fave Unders" is a college football system built around the idea that strong home favorites often play in ways that reduce overall scoring.
In the regular season, when the home team is favored by between 2.5 and 19.5 points, these matchups frequently turn into controlled games where the favorite manages the pace and protects the lead rather than pushing for maximum points.
Weather conditions also support lower scoring as humidity levels between 40 and 100 and wind speeds from eight to 100 miles per hour make passing and kicking less efficient.
When public betting on the total leans heavily toward one side, especially the over, lines can become inflated, yet the actual game script favors a more conservative outcome.
This combination of home team control, weather impact and public bias creates a consistent edge for the under.
Pick: Under 47.5
