From the booth
The model favored M-OH to win, and the call landed.
Miami of Ohio comes in as a massive favorite here, sitting at 98 percent to win this one, and honestly it's not even close. The RedHawks have got Vegas behind them with a 31 and a half point spread, and when you combine that with a significant Elo rating advantage plus better offensive efficiency over their last five games, Holy Cross is looking up a mountain here. This is about as lopsided as it gets in college football, folks. The Crusaders are gonna need something special to pull off the upset.
