The 2024 Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl is set for Saturday, with the Colorado State Rams taking on the Miami (OH) RedHawks. The RedHawks' impressive regular season season was followed by a disappointing 38-3 loss to the Ohio Bobcats in the MAC Championship game, and they must now take the field without several players due to the transfer portal. Meanwhile, the Rams finished their 2024 season 8-4 with six wins in their last seven games, good enough for third place in the Mountain West.

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. Miami (OH) is favored by 2.5 points in the latest Colorado State vs. Miami odds, while the over/under for the Arizona Bowl is 42.5 points, per SportsLine consensus.

Why Miami (OH) can cover

The RedHawks won't have their top two wide receivers, Reggie Virgil and Javon Tracy, because they have already entered the transfer portal. Fortunately, they will be going up against a Rams team that is missing some of its pass rushers for the same reason. This will give senior quarterback Brett Gabbert some breathing room with a revamped receiving corps. Gabbert threw for 2,737 yards and 21 passing touchdowns this season.

Miami covered the spread in each of its last two games leading up to the conference championship. They covered in five of their last seven games to end the season 6-6-0 ATS overall. See which team to pick here.

Why Colorado State can cover

With star receiver Tory Horton (knee) missing much of the season, running back Avery Morrow emerged as a threat for the Rams this season, and he could be the driving force to help them win on Saturday against a RedHawks defense that struggles against the rush. Morrow totaled 166 carries for 956 yards with nine touchdowns, posting 100 or more yards in four straight games during the regular season.

Colorado State's defense topped the Mountain West by forcing nearly one interception per game and tied for second with 1.6 average turnovers imposed. The Rams defense will have its work cut out for it against a RedHawks offense that is missing receivers as well as part of its O-line, which could help Colorado State keep Saturday's game close. See which team to pick here.
