Ohio Bobcats vs Rice Owls Point Spread Picks

There is a huge mismatch in terms of records coming into this game. Ohio, U. is 24-9 on the season while Rice is just 16-16. The MAC gets little attention, and the perception here is it is a weak conference, but looking at the strength of schedule the Bobcats have actually played a slightly stronger schedule. Ohio, U. may be lacking attention because they closed the season at just 2-5, but the Owls have been a lot worse than that having gone 2-7 in their last 9 and covering games has not been in the cards for this team as the Owls are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10. Rice has allowed 50% shooting or better in 5 of their las8 games and I think they are in trouble here. Make the play on Ohio, U.
