- Spread: -45.5
- Moneyline: N/A
- Over/Under: 62.5
Regarding the Miami Hurricanes, they didn’t have the best start last season, since they had posted a 2-4 record, but a powerful final sprint earned them a spot in the Sun Bowl against Washington. However, a series of positive Covid-19 tests forced them to withdraw from the competition.
Miami’s last five games leave a lot of hope for this year, given that they managed 4 wins (47-10 vs Duke Blue Devils; 38-26 vs Virginia Tech Hokies; 33-30 vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets; and 38-34 vs Pittsburgh Panthers) and only one loss (31-28 vs Florida State Seminoles).
This will be Mario Cristobal’s first game as Head Coach, one of the Latino Head Coaches to watch in the 2022/23 NCAA soccer season, and an icon for the university, where he won two national championships as a player.
In terms of the mindset he hopes to impart in his team and the number of time spent practicing, he noted that “We’ve done enough work and preached about it. We feel that the improvements gained in practice will show up on game day “.
JefeBet Prediction
Miami has every chance to win this game, given that they are coming off a strong performance and are playing a very weak opponent. They also appear to have a very strong offensive team this year, even though the defensive line is undergoing some major changes that raise some questions. However, they are not expected to have any problems in that area against the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats.
Pick: Miami Hurricanes win.
