Miami (OH) vs. Ohio: Top 4 Prop Bets
The rivalry renews as Miami (OH) visits Ohio in Athens tonight. Both clubs enter at 5-3 overall and are jockeying for position atop the MAC standings. Miami brings dual-threat quarterback Dequan Finn, while Ohio counters with experienced signal-caller Parker Navarro. This game offers prop-opportunities around rushing yards, passing efficiency, and team totals given the contrasting styles. Here are four standout props heading into tonight.
Dequan Finn Over 128.5 Passing Yards
Finn transferred into Miami (OH) and has shown flashes of his dual-threat upside, combining moderate passing yardage with added rushing value. Ohio’s defense has had trouble limiting QB-run threats, which should free Finn to push the ball through the air. Betting the over on 128.5 passing yards leans on Miami keeping pace and Finn being forced into the air.
Tip: Dequan Finn over 128.5 PASS YDS
- Finn dual-threat QB
-
Ohio vulnerable vs QB runs
-
Miami must score vs rival

Parker Navarro Over 65.5 Rushing Yards
Navarro remains one of the most dangerous rushing quarterbacks in the MAC, boasting 504 rushing yards already this season. Against Miami’s front-seven, which has shown vulnerability to QB scrambles and designed runs, Navarro has the opportunity to exploit lanes. Betting his rushing yards over 65.5 is a viable play given his role and the matchup.
Tip: Parker Navarro over 65.5 RUSH YDS
- Navarro elite QB-rusher
-
Miami front-7 inconsistent
-
Bobcats expect to run QB

Miami Team Total Under 22.5 Points
Although Miami has found a rhythm, Ohio is hosting and has a sharper defense in MAC action this season, especially at home. The total betting market sits around 49.5 for this game. With Miami likely being underdog and needing to play from behind, the pressure may force errors and reduce scoring output. Taking the Miami team total under 22.5 gives value in a rivalry bout where defenses often step up.
Tip: Miami team points under 22.5
- Ohio defense stronger at home
-
Rivalry game tends toward grind
-
Miami underdog role

Ohio Team Total Over 26.5 Points
Conversely, Ohio should have the advantage tonight and gets the nod in many models. Their offense is built to finish drives and control tempo, and facing a Miami team that may have to pass more often can open up opportunities. With halftime adjustments and home-field edge, the Bobcats clearing 26.5 points looks like a strong play.
Tip: Ohio team points over 26.5
- Ohio home-edge
-
Efficient MAC offense
-
Miami may concede first-half control

Game Prediction: Miami (OH) vs. Ohio
This one feels razor-tight, but the edge belongs to Ohio on home turf. Parker Navarro’s dual-threat ability and the Bobcats’ efficient offense give them a slight advantage. Miami will lean heavily on Dequan Finn’s legs and occasional deep shots, but may struggle to keep pace if Ohio controls time of possession and the trenches.
Prediction: Ohio 24, Miami 16.
Expect a hard-fought rivalry contest with Ohio pulling ahead in the second half and Miami battling to stay within range.
