The second safest bet seems like Miami on the money line. The spread feels tight. Miami has to be able to limit Florida State on the ground. Florida State is second nationally, averaging 336.25 rushing yards per game. Miami needs to be able to utilize its advantage on the line of scrimmage to wear Florida State down.
