Let’s check the latest college football spreads, stats, injury reports, and CFB championship for Bowling Green vs Ohio.
Falcons are Flying
The Bowling Green Falcons come off a 42-35 win over Toledo and hold of the top spot in the MAC West. Before the game against the Rockets, Bowling Green’s offense had been cold, averaging just 9½ points in the two previous games. It was a huge turnaround game, that after a 40-6 loss to Kent State (4-6) in Week 11.
Quarterback Matt McDonald has been hot over the last month, with 70% pass completion. He had 395 yards 9four touchdowns) against Toledo. Wide receiver Odieu Hiliaire had a career day with 246 receiving yards (two touchdowns). The team’s air attack should fare well against Ohio, which ranks 125th nationally in passing yards surrendered/game.
Expect BGU to move the ball, as its games have gone over in seven-of-11 games. It’s not all due to a solid offense. There’s a weakness with its defense, having surrendered 422.2 yards/game [99th in nation].
Air Assault in Ohio
Ohio has averaged 37.6 points during its six-game winning streak to date. The Bobcats have one of college football’s best passing attacks, 15th in yards/attempt, and 20th in yards/game.
Quarterback Kurtis Rourke is on track to take home some hardware. He is ninth nationally (3,256 passing yards), leading the MAC. There’s a solid 25-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

During the streak, Ohio has scored first in five-of-six games, and last week’s 32-18 win over Ball St. was the first time in over a month the Bobcats didn’t score in the opening 15 minutes. The Ohio offense is known to come out firing. Take a prop bet on it to score first Tuesday night.
The injury report is worth watching. Rourke’s injured knee means his status is questionable. Rourke had minor swelling, he has a solid chance of playing.

Betting on the total is the safest choice in this one. Neither team has a good defense, and both offenses lean on throwing the ball. Take the over.
