Rutgers / Miami Ohio U45.5 1.1% free play
The Rutgers vs. Miami (OH) game is likely to go under the total of 45-46.5 points due to inclement weather, with an 80% chance of showers and possible thunderstorms after 2 PM ET in Piscataway, NJ, bringing highs near 88°F, 5-10 mph winds, and 0.25-0.5 inches of rain that could lead to sloppy field conditions, more turnovers, and conservative play-calling to avoid risks in passing or kicking. In terms of matchup, Rutgers' defense, which allowed 31 points to Ohio last week, faces a Miami (OH) offense that was shut out 17-0 by Wisconsin with just 117 total yards, suggesting limited scoring potential from the RedHawks against a Big Ten front, while Rutgers' offense may not need to push aggressively against a weaker MAC foe. Both teams' playing styles favor a low-scoring grind, as Miami (OH) ranks poorly in offensive efficiency (134th in points per game) and relies on a struggling run-pass balance, while Rutgers showed second-half offensive inconsistency (just 3 points) and could lean on their ground game in wet conditions, aligning with trends like the under hitting in 4 of Miami's last 6 games.
