Miami vs Texas A&M Prediction

The current betting odds have Miami listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Miami has looked really good in their 2 games this year winning both of them with some good defense and a lot of offense. They have always lacked a great QB to run their offense well but now they have that quarterback who can put up points, and they also have one of the best defenses with that dangerous secondary and good run defense as well. Texas A&M was really bad in their last game, losing at home to App State in a game they should have won. Their defense has not fixed the problems that they were having and this offense really struggled to move the ball on App State the entire game. Fisher is in his 5th season with the team and Texas A&M was supposed to be very good this year, a lot of people projecting them to have a chance at the final four, but after that performance they are definitely not a playoff team this year. Between the strong offense that can move the ball well and this very good defense that will stunt Texas A&M, Miami could end up winning this game as they are playing a lot better right now. The best way to place a bet here is on Miami to cover the spread in this game.
