00:00All right, what are we going back to now?
00:04Let's fly through it then.
00:05We got the MAAC championship Miami of Ohio against Ohio, two and a half is pretty much
00:09anywhere you look between 44 and 44 and a half on the total.
00:13So that number coming up today in Detroit, I'm taking a chance personally on Parker Navarro,
00:18the quarterback for Ohio over 65 and a half rush yards.
00:21I just think this is a chance where some would say, oh, we're paying top of market.
00:26Maybe they just don't catch up all season long.
00:27He's averaging 96 rush yards per game in MAAC play with 100 plus in three straight games.
00:33One of the games he did miss against just two of them in MAAC play came against Miami
00:37of Ohio.
00:38So perhaps Parker Navarro knows, okay, I got to step it up on the ground, continue to throw
00:41different looks at this team.
00:43That's on play.
00:44It's a good look because it's a contrarian look.
00:46And I like that in terms of these championship games, you have Ohio that has won five straight
00:49by 27 points per game, defensively, Ohio only given up 97 yards on the ground.
00:54You look at the flip side for Miami of Ohio.
00:57They're giving up 128 yards in terms of opposing offenses.
01:01Last eight games though, last eight games, they have held opposing offenses to 92.6 points
01:06per game in terms of the rushing attack.
01:08I like Gabbard.
01:09I like Martin in terms of this spot.
01:11They're battle tested.
01:12They're blue collar play.
01:14Very good defense.
01:15I'm going to lay it with Miami of Ohio, but I'm going to take the over.
01:17Brent Gabbard is a very experienced quarterback for this Red Hawks team under Chuck Martin,
01:23who won the MAAC championship a year ago.
01:26These two programs, staples of consistency within the Mid-American Conference.
01:31Miami of Ohio played three games in their non-conference against Power Four competition.
01:36Northwestern, the rivalry game against Cincinnati and Notre Dame.
01:40They only were a three-point underdog to both the Cats and the Bearcats, and they covered
01:45against the Irish.
01:46Notre Dame hates to see a MAAC team coming.
01:49Miami of Ohio-Temegio, the defense being the difference why in their final seven games,
01:55they won seven in a row, only allowing fewer than 13 points per game.
