Miami is coming into this contest as a 6 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Miami has been having a great season and they have been playing very well in their recent games winning 9 straight. They have a perfect 5-0 in record in their conference games this season and they are even 3-0 on the road as well. They are coming off of a massive upset win on the road over Duke, one of the best teams in the nation, and they are going to have a lot of confidence coming into this game. FSU has not been playing well this season and they have been struggling to get by recently, just barely winning in the games they do win in. The best bet to place in this game is on Miami to cover the spread here as they have been playing much better and have a good chance at winning this game.

"We're the real deal. And I think everybody saw that tonight. We can play with anybody. We can compete with anybody. We can beat anybody. It's finally good to see all that hard work paying off." - Kameron McGusty on their win against Duke.

 

 

“Our ball screen this system has worked real well but we've always had a big guy we can throw the ball to.
