Predicition
Miami has frequently made games close at home this season but has been blown out on two occasions on the road and one on a neutral site. The Hurricanes are too hard to trust with the point spread. Seven and a half points is a large number that Miami could cover. Betting the over with a relatively low 150.5 seems like the safe bet.
It has been a roller coaster season of inconsistency for Miami. The Hurricanes will attempt to avoid their first three-game losing streak since they began February 2021 with six straight losses. Miami plays at Boston College on Saturday before returning home next Wednesday to host Duke.
