- Tuesday’s MAC games present a couple of reliable betting angles, including UMass’ low team-total outlook and a possible over in Bowling Green’s matchup.
- The Western Michigan–Eastern Michigan matchup offers strong quarterback prop opportunities, with both Broc Lowry and Noah Kim well-positioned to clear their passing yard totals.
AMHERST, Mass. — Two MAC matchups are set for Tuesday, with Bowling Green visiting UMass and Western Michigan facing Eastern Michigan. Both games offer a few betting angles that are worth a closer look.
Best Bets for Bowling Green vs UMass
- UMass Team Total Under 14.5 Points -120
- Total Points Over 45 -110
Bowling Green is 3-8 despite losing five straight games, while UMass is winless at 0-11 this season. The under on the Minutemen's team total at 14.5 points with -120 odds is one of the safer options because they haven't been able to produce any offensive consistency this season.
UMass has only managed to clear 15 points twice in 11 games this season while averaging just 10.81 points per game. They're on a 20 game losing streak against MAC opponents, and even Ohio's defense, which ranked 128th or worse in several key categories, held the Minutemen to just 215 total yards. If you are checking out Ohio CFB prop betting, this under looks like a pretty reliable option given how much they've struggled to put points on the board.
The total points over 45 with -110 odds is quite enticing because Bowling Green should have enough firepower to win this game. The Falcons should do better against a defense that has allowed opponents to score easily after blowing a lead in the second half of a heartbreaking 19-16 loss to Akron.
The total has gone under in five straight Bowling Green games, despite UMass going over in five of their last six games as the underdog. Anyone who checks sportsbooks with CFB props can get strong odds for this over-hitting.
Best Bets for Western Michigan vs Eastern Michigan
- Broc Lowry (WMU) Over 125.5 Passing Yards -115
- Noah Kim (EMU) Over 198.5 Passing Yards -115
With an average of 133.82 throwing yards per game this season, Broc Lowry has been working hard for Western Michigan. This season, he has exceeded the 125.5 line in seven out of eleven games, including seven of his previous eight. Given that the line allows him plenty of leeway, Lowry's over at -115 odds seems like a good choice if you're looking at college football props.
Since Noah Kim has cleared the 198.5 passing yards line in seven out of eleven games this season - including four straight games going into Tuesday—he is likely the best option on Michigan CFB prop betting sites. He is far above the projected line, averaging 226.36 passing yards per game. With EMU likely playing from behind, Kim should have plenty of opportunities to air it out.
Bowling Green will take on UMass at 4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN U, while Western Michigan will play Eastern Michigan on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN 2.
