Phil NaessensTue, November 25, 2025 at 4:10 PM UTC·3 min readThe Massachusetts Minutemen have one last chance to win a game of the season when they host the Bowling Green Falcons in MACtion tonight.
The Falcons have failed to cover in four straight games, and my Bowling Green vs. UMass predictions don’t see them beating this huge line on the road.

Bowling Green vs UMass prediction
Bowling Green vs UMass best bet: UMass +14.5 (-105)
The UMass Minutemen haven’t won a game this season, but Tuesday’s matchup suggests the Minutemen can stay inside this inflated number.
The Bowling Green Falcons are being asked to cover more than two touchdowns despite having one of the least explosive offenses in the MAC, averaging just 153.4 passing yards per game and 3.75 yards per carry.
That makes it difficult for the Falcons to create the type of scoring margin implied by this spread.

The Minutemen quietly defend the pass better than their reputation suggests, allowing only 12.55 yards per completion, and they should be able to keep the Falcons' offense in front of them for most of the night.
Offensively, UMass can run the ball well enough against a Falcons defense giving up 4.26 yards per carry to extend drives, keep the clock winding, and keep Bowling Green from blowing them out.
