Ohio/ Miami Under 53: Seems like the total is a bit low for a MAC game, but i still can't see these teams hitting 53 in this one. The Ohio Bobcats are 8-3 on the year and they have alrready wrapped up the MAC East, so I can't really see them going all out on offense in this one. I expect them to use that 21st ranked ground attack and their solid defense to shorten the game and get out of there healthy. The Ohio defense has been very good this year, allowing just 343 ypg (31st) and 22.7 ppg (37th). At home this defense has been very stingy, allowing just 14.8 ppg and 292 ypg. The Bobcats at home have allowed just 126 ypg through the air and that is Miami's only means of attack as they are 16th in passing (292.5 ypg), but dead last in the nation in rushing (75 ypg). That 16th ranked passing attack will be tested by not only asolid Ohio pass defense, but by mother nature, as they are expecting heavy rain in the area tonight. The Miami defense has not been that bad for a 4-7 team as they 41st overall (357 ypg) and 39th in points allowed (23.1 ppg). Miami is 25th vs the pass (194.5 ypg) but 69th vs the run (162.7 ypg) and that is another reason I expect Ohio to stick more with the run game. Miami has allowed just 16 ppg in their last 4 games and their last 3 games overall have averaged just 42.7 ppg, while Ohio's home games have averaged just 44 ppg. The weather will play a huge role tonight as this field should be a sloppy mess and that won't translate into a ton of points. Ohio is just looking to get out of this game healthy so expect them to keep more on the ground and just run that clock down. I don't expect this game to put more than 41 points on the board.Comment

Sports Wagers
Los Angeles +118 over ST. LOUIS Pinnacle
Ken Hitchcock has coached the Blues for six games now and they have yet to lose in regulation. St. Louis has won four of those games and lost in OT in the other two. Hitchcock stresses defensive hockey and the Blue Notes have responded by playing a better brand of defense. In the aforementioned four wins they allowed a total of two goals against. That said, this one sets up beautifully for the Kings because the Blue Notes have the Penguins on deck tomorrow night in Pittsburgh and all anyone has heard for two days is Sidney Crosby. No doubt the Blues are looking forward to that tilt and could definitely be caught off guard here. It’s also interesting that Ken Hitchcock has named his goaltenders for these two games. Jaroslav Halak goes tonight and Brian Elliott goes tomorrow, which suggests even the coach wants his best out there for tomorrow. The Kings are coming on. They’ve won three of four with only loss over that span coming against a hungry Detroit team that had dropped five in a row. The Kings have a significant edge in net tonight and they’re also in a favorable situation with the Blues playing the Pens tomorrow. Play: Los Angeles +118 (Risking 2 units).
