How to make Miami vs. Western Michigan picks

SportsLine's model is going Over on the total (43.5). The RedHawks have gone over the total in four of the last six games, while the Broncos have gone over the total in four of their last five. The teams have also gone over in each of the last two meetings. 

The model projects Miami quarterback Henry Hesson, who has stepped in after Dequan Finn left the program in November to prepare for the NFL Draft, to register more than 225 yards passing with two touchdowns, while Western Michigan quarterback Broc Lowry will be a dual threat. He is projected to pass for more than 150 yards and one touchdown, while rushing for more than 50 yards and a score. The Over hits in more than 50% of simulations.

The model also says one side of the spread hits nearly 70% of the time. You can only get that pick at SportsLine.
