Key Matchups for Syracuse vs Miami (Fla)

Let’s cut to the core of this matchup. The real question is—do you trust the Hurricanes? Based on their recent form, the answer is a resounding “no.” Miami has lost two of its last three and has likely kissed their College Football Playoff hopes goodbye. The Hurricanes have averaged just 27.4 points per game over their last five and haven’t covered a spread this large in that span.

Syracuse, on the other hand, has struggled since losing quarterback Steve Angeli, but coach Fran Brown has kept this group competitive. Don’t forget: Syracuse upset Miami as a 12-point underdog last season. With motivation high and the Hurricanes failing to blow teams out, this becomes a spot for the Orange to shine late. The line has bounced slightly but held firm at +28.5 despite overwhelming public support on Miami.

Betting Trends for Syracuse vs Miami (Fla)

• Miami has failed to cover in 3 of its last 5 games
• 4 of Miami’s last 5 games have gone under the total
• Syracuse is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 as underdogs of 20+ points
• Public betting is heavily tilted toward Miami (91% of money)

Key Injuries and Analysis for Syracuse vs Miami (Fla)

• Steve Angeli (QB, Syracuse) – Out for season (knee)
• No key new injuries for Miami reported

While Angeli’s absence has hurt Syracuse’s offense, they’ve found ways to stay scrappy. Miami hasn’t looked sharp offensively and hasn’t been able to take advantage of injury-depleted squads either.

Syracuse vs Miami (Fla) ATS and Over/Under Betting Picks

Based on the handicap and line movement, we’re leaning toward a closer game than expected and a lower-scoring one.

Spread Pick: Syracuse +28.5

• This is too many points to lay with an inconsistent Miami team
• Syracuse beat this team outright last year as a 12-point dog
• ★★★★☆ confidence rating

Total Pick: Under 46.5

• Miami has gone under in 4 of their last 5
• They’re averaging just 27.4 PPG recently
• ★★★★☆ confidence rating

Syracuse vs Miami (Fla) Final Score Prediction

• Miami 30, Syracuse 13

We expect Miami to come away with the win, but not without a fight from Syracuse. The Orange will play inspired and gritty football under Fran Brown. Miami’s recent struggles and conservative offensive gameplans make covering nearly four touchdowns a tall order.
