Miami Ohio at Massachusetts

This is a tough sell to me. To have a team like UMass that has a grand total of one win since joining the ranks of the FBS, posted as a favorite seems off to me. That rings especially true when you consider their lone win was last year against a team that has not recorded a win vs. a FBS opponent since November 26th in 2010. UMass has scored 35 points in five games this season, and just 21 points in their four games vs. FBS opponents or 5.3 points per game. Miami Ohio. is also 0-5 coming into this game. The difference is that they have faced three teams from BCS Conferences, and a fourth that is 3-2, and ranks highly defensively on a national scale. UMass may not score enough to cover here, and the Red Hawks have more of upside by having played a much tougher schedule to this point. If you are going to give me more than a field goal against Massachusetts, I'm biting. Take Miami Ohio.
