Based on the two defenses and how well the Miami offense has played this season, the Hurricanes covering the point spread and the over being exceeded seem to be the most likely occurrences. Miami has played its two best games of the season the last two weeks in wins against ranked teams.
With the softest part of their schedule remaining over the last four weeks, if Miami can remain focused and locked in offensively, they can end the regular season with six straight wins. That would put the Hurricanes in contention to earn a berth in one of the higher-tiered ACC Bowl Games.
