The Miami football team will conclude the regular season against Pittsburgh needing a win to qualify for a bowl berth. Miami enters the game against Pittsburgh after the third-worst offensive performance in program history. The Hurricanes gained only 98 yards which was the third-lowest output in Miami history.

Only a fumble return to the Clemson 10-yardline by Miami defensive lineman set up the Hurricanes’ offense for its only touchdown against the Tigers. Pittsburgh is 7-4 after a 28-26 win over Duke on Saturday. Miami has defeated Pittsburgh in each of the last four seasons and six of the last seven.

Miami leads the all-time series 29-11-1. The Hurricanes have won 13 of the last 15 versus Pittsburgh and 22 of the last 25 dating to 1984. Pittsburgh has won its last three games. The Panthers had wins over Syracuse and Virginia preceding the victory over Duke. Pittsburgh has improved defensively in the last three weeks.

In the wins over Syracuse and Virginia, Pittsburgh combined to allow 289 total yards and 2.75 yards per play. The Miami offense has been equally anemic over its last four games. Since Tyler Van Dyke was injured against Duke a month ago, the Miami offense has failed to gain over 300 yards in three of the last four games.

Pittsburgh at Miami football Week 13 predictions

The expectation has to be with their season on the line the Miami football team will perform at a higher level offensively. Pittsburgh has improved throughout the season and is playing at its highest level entering the regular season finale. The Panthers can improve its bowl standing in the ACC with a win over Miami.

Miami has been difficult to trust betting on this season. After covering the point spread in a 70-13 win over Bethune-Cookman in the season opener, the Hurricanes did not cover until the win over Georgia Tech two weeks ago. The win over the Yellow Jackets is the only time Miami has covered versus an FBS opponent this season.

Miami has not won an ACC Game at home this season and hasn’t emerged victorious at Hard Rock Stadium since its week two win over Southern Mississippi. With their season on the line, Miami should at least be competitive and is more likely than not to cover the point spread. The total is one of the lowest this season.
