Why #16 Miami is a good bet at -18?
At one time, the Miami Hurricanes ranked in the top 10 nationally. A stunning 17-33 loss to LSU in Week 1 ended that. But, coach Mark Richt has rallied the troops to 3 straight wins, including beating Florida International 31-17 and beating Toledo 49-24. Miami should win the ACC Coastal Division. Their only competition will be the Virginia Tech Hokies, at least that’s what the college football experts tell us. If the experts are right, Miami easily handles North Carolina by 20 points.Team Statistics
