The Miami (OH) RedHawks were able to win the MAC Championship which came to the surprise of everybody, but they will have a very tough task with the Ragin’ Cajuns as they are explosive on offense. Louisiana has one of the best offenses in the country as they are averaging 38.8 PPG, and they have been unstoppable on the ground as they are averaging 265.3 yards per game. Miami (OH) has really struggled on the offensive side of the ball as they rank 95th in points scored, and that can be in part to freshman QB Brett Gabbert having an up and down season (11 TDs to 8 INTs). While the main center of attention may be the Louisiana offense, they have been very good on the defensive side of the ball as they are holding their opponents to an average of 19.9 PPG. Louisiana should blow the doors open early and win this without much of a fight. Final Score Prediction, Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns win and cover ATS 37-14.
