Rutgers didn’t start the season playing well but towards end of the regular season, the Tigers stepped it up big time. On Friday, Rutgers takes on one of the better teams from the vaunted SEC, the Miami Hurricanes.
Can the Tigers end their season with a win and cover? Or will Miami show why college football fans consider the SEC the best conference in the nation?
The Miami Hurricanes are the favorites in the college football lines in this game. The Hurricanes are listed at -1.5. The total for this affair is set at 40.5 points.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights Analysis
It was a tale of two seasons for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Rutgers started their season losing 2-of-4, 28-7 against Duke, and 31-24 to Florida State.
But although Rutgers was 2-2 after four games, the lose to the Seminoles proved that Dabo Swinney’s squad had talent. The loss to Florida State came in overtime after Florida State rallied.
It wasn’t smoothing sailing after losing to Florida State. The Tigers dropped back-to-back games to Miami and NC State. Swinney, though, rallied his players and Rutgers won their final 4 games against then 15 Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, then 20 North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Miami started the season going 5-0. However, in their sixth game, the Wildcats battled 1 Georgia and from then on it got ugly.
The Wildcats dropped 3 straight to Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee before beating Mississippi State. A couple of losses followed, 49-21 versus College Football Playoff semifinalist Alabama, and 17-14 to South Carolina./p>
Miami turned it around in their final game. Facing 10 Louisville, the Wildcats played great, beating the Cardinals 38-31 and knocking Louisville out of CFP contention. Miami heads to this game with momentum.

22 Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Miami Hurricanes Final Betting Prediction
The Wildcats are a solid team and can play well in this, but Rutgers has a couple of massive advantages. First, the Tigers front seven should handle Ray Davis, Miami’s brilliant running back.
Even if the line doesn’t handle Davis, Rutgers quarterback Cade Klubnik has a big edge over Miami starter Devin Leary. Leary, the former NC State quarterback, completed just 56.3% of his passes. Leary completed 55.9% of his passes against Top 25 ranked teams.
Finally, Dabo Swinney wants to win this game. Swinney doesn’t believe in using the transfer portal the way so many teams are using it. Dabo will only use the transfer portal if he requires a player to fill a position.
Swinney and his team are motivated to prove that the traditional way of building a college football power is to recruit and keep the players you recruit. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights win and cover.

Why bet on Syracuse versus Minnesota?
Since October 22, when Syracuse hung with Clemson in a 27-21 loss, the Orange have fallen apart. Syracuse ended their season losing 5 straight against the spread and 4-of-5 straight up.
But although Syracuse lost, the Orange could have won 2 of the 4 losses. The 45-35 loss to Wake Forest could have gone the Orange’s way. The 19-9 loss to Pittsburgh also could have gone Syracuse’s way. A few lucky bounces in the opposite direction and the ‘Cuse could have won both those games.

Why bet on Minnesota versus Syracuse?
Minnesota had a terrific season. The Gophers didn’t win the Big Ten but they finished with 4 losses total.
When it comes to this contest, the Golden Gophers are in a much better position than Syracuse. The Gophers won 4 of their last 5 games. The Gophers went 3-2 against the spread in those last 5. So if you want to play the hotter team in this bowl game, Minnesota is the play.
Minnesota Golden Gophers Offensive Averages

Orange versus Golden Gophers Relevant Trends
- Orange is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games
- Syracuse is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games
- Under is 6-1 in the Orange’s last 7 neutral site games
- Golden Gophers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games no grass
- Minnesota is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 bowl games
- Under is 5-0 in the Golden Gophers last 5 games following a straight up win
Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Syracuse Orange Final Betting Prediction
Syracuse does not enter the game playing their best football. The ‘Cuse went 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 games.
Not only that, but in those final 5 games, Syracuse’s defense fell apart versus offenses that aren’t as talented as Minnesota’s. The Gophers average over 28 points per game from over 404 yards each contest.
Minnesota allows less than 14 points per game and the Gophers step it up in bowls. Anyway we look at it, Syracuse should be in some trouble on Dec. 29. The Gophers get the straight up and against the spread wins.
