Can Miami Finally Get Past Florida State?

Mark Richt has stepped in and immediately made Miami look like one of the best teams in the nation, but the Hurricanes head coach will be up against some bad history versus Florida State on Saturday. Miami has lost six consecutive games against FSU while losing by 13-plus points on three occasions.

Shark Bites
  • The UNDER is 5-0 in the past 5 games between Miami and Florida State.
  • Miami is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games after consecutive wins.
  • Florida State is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games after a loss.

Miami’s competition has not been good so far this season, as they have faced just one school from a Power 5 conference, but they have dominated in those outings. The Canes have the fourth-highest scoring offense in the nation and the second-best scoring defense.

FSU is already 0-2 in conference play and can pretty much kiss goodbye any hope of playing for the ACC championship. The lone bright spot for the Seminoles recently has been Dalvin Cook, as the running back has accounted for 575 offensive yards and five touchdowns in the past two games.
