Tuesday’s Battle of the Bricks features two of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the MAC, and my Miami (OH) vs. Ohio predictions expect both pivots to play prominent roles.

Miami (OH) vs Ohio prediction
Miami (OH) vs Ohio best bet: DeQuan Finn Over 48.5 rushing yards (-114)
Miami (OH) RedHawks quarterback DeQuan Finn has quietly been one of the most dangerous dual-threat players in the MAC, and his rushing prop of 48.5 yards looks too low heading into Tuesday night’s matchup with the Ohio Bobcats.
Finn has cleared that number in four straight games, averaging more than 60 rushing yards per outing over that stretch. He loves to call his own number and has double-digit rushing attempts in five of his seven games.
Ohio’s defense ranks just 85th in the FBS against the run and has struggled to contain mobile quarterbacks all season.
Expect offensive coordinator Pat Welsh to lean on Finn’s legs early in a game where sustained drives will matter. Finn’s rushing total is simply too modest given his recent form and offensive role.
Miami (OH) vs Ohio same-game parlay
In addition to my best bet, Parker Navarro is another dual-threat quarterback who’s rushed for 59 yards or more in four of his previous five games.
The Bobcats are undefeated this season at Peden Stadium and have won three of the past five meetings against the RedHawks.
