The Massachusetts Minutemen have one last chance to win their first game of the season when they host the Bowling Green Falcons in MACtion action.

The Falcons have failed to cover in four straight games, and my Bowling Green vs. Massachusetts predictions don’t see them covering three scores on the road. 

Read on for my college football picks for Tuesday, November 25. 

Bowling Green vs UMass prediction

Bowling Green vs UMass best bet: UMass +14.5 (-105)

The Massachusetts Minutemen haven’t won a game this season, but Tuesday’s matchup suggests the Minutemen can stay inside this inflated number. 

The Bowling Green Falcons are being asked to cover more than two touchdowns despite having one of the least explosive offenses in the MAC, averaging just 153.4 passing yards per game and 3.75 yards per carry. 

That makes it difficult for the Falcons to create the type of scoring margin implied by this spread.

Defensively, UMass has major issues, but Bowling Green doesn’t have the downfield passing attack or the rushing game to exploit them fully. 

The Minutemen quietly defend the pass better than their reputation suggests, allowing only 12.55 yards per completion, and they should be able to keep the Falcons' offense in front of them for most of the night. 

Offensively, UMass can run the ball well enough against a Falcons defense giving up 4.26 yards per carry to extend drives, keep the clock winding, and keep Bowling Green from blowing them out.
