What's your lean in the Miami (OH)/Temple game?

[lite1up]

FINALLY a profitable day in the MAC for me, nailed my WMU +13/OVER 69 parlay and over 35.5 halftime bet. Lost small on Bowling Green +6 but still a very profitable day.

I have this game capped at Temple winning 27-9, with the way the MAC is I have trouble feeling confident in this, since the games generally defy logic and statistics. Miami has the 25th ranked passing attack in the nation, yet most of these numbers have come against bad defenses. Miami got shut out against Cincy and only managed 13 points against Mizzou. Temple's defense had a let down against Ohio but has generally been shutting MAC opponents down.

So, the lean is to take Temple -13 and UNDER 44, but it's very difficult to lay that many points in the MAC and to play any under in this conference makes me squeamish (got killed on the Temple/Ohio under last week.)

Thinking a 7 point teaser - Temple -6 and UNDER 51 may be the play.

Thoughts?

Leaning towards that teaser as well

Why do people have to play when they are so much in doubt. I'm going to pass on this game just for that reason. I made good money on the over last night, then went nuts on the 2nd half 36 in the Toledo Game. It was a very good night for me, I have to settle up every Tuesday with my local guy so I will play more conservative up 1800. Especially with NFL its easy to give it back.

Food for thought;

*A RedHawk victory Wednesday over Temple and a loss by Ohio at CMU (Nov. 10) would put Miami in sole possession of first place in the MAC East Division with just two games to play.

*Zac Dysert has 7,381 career passing yards and ranks fourth among college football's non-seniors, trailing only Oklahoma's Landry Jones, Baylor's Robert Griffin and Southern California's Matt Barkley.

*Miami has won 10 of its last 13 games against Mid-American Conference competition.

*Temple’s Sophomore QB Chris Coyer will start and is 8-of-14 for 123 yards and three touchdowns.

* Individually, junior RB Bernard Pierce is No. 2 in the nation in rushing touchdowns (18), No. 2 in scoring (13.50 ppg), and No. 10 in rushing (118.88). (questionable)
