Game Preview
The famed rivalry between No. 6 Miami and Florida State returns Saturday, though the odds lean heavily in Miami’s favor. The Hurricanes (7-0, 3-0 ACC), sitting as 21-point favorites, face a Florida State team (1-6, 1-5) that’s struggled this season. But Miami coach Mario Cristobal knows the intensity remains: "It’s an insanely awesome rivalry."
Miami boasts the nation’s second-highest scoring offense at 48.3 points per game, with QB Cam Ward leading in passing yards (363 per game) and touchdowns (24). Star receiver Xavier Restrepo adds firepower with nearly 100 receiving yards per game. However, Miami’s defense has shown cracks, allowing high-scoring games in recent weeks, compounded by issues in the secondary due to injuries. Defensive end Malik Bryant returns this week, aiming to help tighten up the defense.
Florida State has had a rough season, averaging just 15 points per game and allowing 25, placing them near the bottom of the ACC. Freshman quarterback Brock Glenn struggled in last week’s loss to Duke, leading to a mid-game switch to backup Luke Kromenhoek. The Seminoles’ playoff hopes are dwindling, needing wins in their final five games, which include matchups with top-ranked Miami and Notre Dame.
Special teams could offer a betting angle, as Florida State’s Samuel Singleton Jr. recently returned a kickoff for a 95-yard touchdown, and Shyheim Brown has blocked two field goals this season. Defensive ends Patrick Payton and Marvin Jones Jr., who transferred from Georgia, anchor Florida State’s defense and will look to challenge Miami’s offensive line.
For bettors, Miami’s powerful offense and Florida State’s struggles make the Hurricanes the likely choice, while special teams and defensive props add intrigue in this historic showdown.
