I honestly believe the wrong team is favored here or at worst should be a pick'em, so I'll gladly take 5.5 on the home RedHawks. Miami has a win at Northwestern under its belt and has played just once at home, an easy win over FCS Robert Morris. Both of Kent State's wins are home -- to be fair, its three road games were against Power 5 schools to cash a paycheck. The Golden Flashes are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games. KSU hasn't won at Yager Stadium since 2012 and Miami has won 15 straight overall there. That's fourth best nationally. Miami is 10-1 in its past 11 following a MAC loss and comes off a 24-20 defeat at Buffalo last Saturday. The RedHawks rank first in the MAC in total defense (338.4) and rush defense (84.8).
