Colorado State had a winning record at home (6-1) but a losing road mark. Colorado State prefers to run the football behind Avery Morrow (956 yards), but the Miami of Ohio defense is 10 in the country in yards per play allowed. Taking away the run puts more pressure on Colorado State sophomore QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi (13 TDs, 7 INTs). The Colorado State defense lost a couple of pass rushers for this bowl, and the defense allowed 65 points in the last two games. Miami of Ohio's experienced offense has seniors QB Brett Gabbert (21 TDs, 11 INTs) and RB Keyon Mozee (1,073 yards, 6.3 ypc). The defense allowed just 15 points per game in conference action. They've won seven of eight as a favorite, with the wagering value on the MAC team winning the game. Play Miami of Ohio on the moneyline.
