Miami Hurricanes News: Early Texas A&M line, final Miami (Oh) analysis
The early line ahead of the Texas A&M game is out. Several sites that cover the Miami Hurricanes football team wrapped up their coverage of the win over Miami (Ohio) and started looking ahead to Texas A&M on Saturday. Four-star 2024 offensive tackle Eddy Pierre-Louis named Miami in his top five.
FanDuel listed Texas A&M as a 7.5-point favorite over Miami throughout most of the summer. The Aggies were a 4.5-point favorite over the Hurricanes as of 10:30 PM ET on Sunday night. The total for Saturday is set at 50.5 with the over at -115 and the under set at -105. The moneyline for Miami is +158.
Texas A&M had their moneyline versus Miami set at -192 per FanDuel. There is also a pair of teasers set for each team to win from one to 13 points and by a margin of 14 or more. The early analysis for Texas A&M at Miami is that the total is far too high. Texas A&M won 17-9 in 2022 versus Miami in College Station.
Chris Stock of Inside the U wrote that “still recovering, TE Elijah Arroyo held out of opener.” Arroyo reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during training camp. Arroyo missed all but four games during the 2022 season with a torn ACL. Entering the 2023 season, Arroyo was projected to be the first-team Miami TE.
Pierre-Louis named Miami, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCF and Texas A&M as his five finalists. On3 quoted saying he is considering Miami because “The coaching staff is really cool and the players are too. Also, coach Cristobal played oline so he knows how important it is to play it.” UCF is given an 87.1 percent chance for a commitment.
