The RedHawks are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 conference games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 in November. Miami-OH is 1-4 ATS in the last five after an ATS win. 

Meanwhile, the Flashes are 4-1 ATS in their last five at home and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 in November. Kent State is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 conference games. 

PICK: I’m going to try Miami-OH here. The RedHawks have a few things to clean up from last week, though. Miami-OH put up 346 yards against Bowling Green with 6.1 yards per play, but stumbled with just 11 first downs and an ugly 2-of-14 mark on third- and fourth-down tries. 

As for Kent State, they played great against Akron, with 495 yards—410 of those coming on the ground. The Flashes probably won’t be able to be so one-dimensional here though, so look for some additional emphasis on putting together more passing looks.
