Why Miami Will Win

Really, Virginia Tech? Liberty?

The Hokies got hammered by the Flames for 249 rushing yards, struggled whenever the D needed a big play, and they lost star RB Khalil Herbert to a hamstring injury – he’s iffy for this week.

Miami might not be struggling to get through games lately without breathing hard, but it’s finding a way to keep avoiding landmines – it’s not losing to Liberty.

It starts with D’Eriq King, who saved the day in the 44-41 win over NC State with 105 rushing yards and a season-high 430-yard passing game.

The Virginia Tech defense has gone bye-bye, allowing over 400 yards in five of the last six games and over 1,000 yards in the last two games.

Why Virginia Tech Will Win

The defense doesn’t seem to like playing on the road.

Miami allowed fewer than 370 yards in all four home games, and it’s been hammered for over 400 yards in all three road games including over 500 against both Clemson and Louisville. Of course, the opponents had a little to do with that, but this really is a different team that plays with a different energy away from Hard Rock.

Virginia Tech is stuck in a bizarre pattern of following up every win with a loss with a win, and so on. It doesn’t play well, and it adjusts and things work the following week.

The offense , though, has been steady, especially on the ground. It’s all about constantly hammering on the Miami defense and wearing it down. The two 200-yard running games it allowed were by teams that committed to the run – again, though, to be fair, Louisville and Clemson.

Virginia Tech is going to run it more than 40 times.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

Virginia Tech is just weird enough to clunk against Liberty and then reload to get past a good, but flawed Miami. It’s going to be a fun shootout with a whole lot of big plays, lots of running, and another great performance by King.

This is where the the flake-factor with Virginia Tech goes to the positive side. the Hokie pass rush is going to live in the Hurricane backfield.

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Miami Will Win

Can the NC State defense show up?

The pass defense has had a rough time all season long, and a few weeks ago, the D got ripped apart by the North Carolina running game. The Tar Heels joined Virginia Tech in the 300-yard rushing club against the Wolfpack, and now it’s up to Miami to get grinding again.

The Hurricanes have been winning – the only loss is to Clemson – but the offense hasn’t been smooth. They weren’t able to do much against the fantastic Pitt run D, and they couldn’t get going against Virginia. This week, the gameplan will be to run early, run often, and get D’Eriq King on the move.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

Why NC State Will Win

NC State is throwing well enough to provide a push.

The Hurricanes have only played a few good downfield passing games, and they went off. The secondary is allowing 240 yards per game, has allowed two touchdowns or more in three games, and other than the three picks against Florida State, there’s only been one interception in the last five games.

Offensively, it’s mostly because King is trying to make something happen, but Miami gives up a ton of tackles for loss and too many sacks. NC State has enough of a pass rush to be a problem.

What’s Going To Happen

This is actually one of the better indicators for Miami. It won’t four games against overmatched/okay teams, and NC State is back at home after playing four road games in five weeks before getting time off.

Miami won’t get too quirky here. It’ll run and keep running, and King will be enough to stay ahead in a surprisingly tough fight.

Why Virginia Will Win

Can Virginia somehow get its defensive groove back?

As it turns out, Miami fattened up on a few mediocre teams before getting flattened by Clemson. Last week it caught a break by not facing Pitt starting quarterback Kenny Pickett, and it was still a fight to get the 31-19 win.

This might be a much stronger Hurricane team that the 2019 version, but it’s been a slight disappointment at controlling the clock and allowing teams to get into the backfield, and it’s getting penalized left and right.

Virginia has struggled from the start, but the defensive experience and talent are there to start doing more. It’s rested – the Cavaliers lead the ACC in time of possession – and the offensive line is doing a decent job, but …

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Miami Will Win

Virginia’s offense is working, and it’s still not bringing the wins.

The rushing attack was great against Wake Forest – almost perfectly balancing out the offense – and it was a loss.

The passing game rocked against NC State – and it was a loss.

The Virginia offense failed to hit the 400-yard mark six times in the first eight games last year, and it got there in all four games this season – and the team is 1-3.

However, the O is awful on third downs, and it’s not doing enough to push the ball down the field.

Miami has to get back to grinding out the running game. It was hammering away in the first three games, couldn’t do anything against Clemson, and had to deal with the Pitt defensive front last week. This is the game for the Cane offense to get tough again.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can Miami cut into the Virginia time of possession advantage? The Cavalier defense has to hold up when it gets its chances, and it won’t.

D’Eriq King might have thrown four touchdown passes against Pitt, but he gave away two picks in each of the last two games and and hasn’t been accurate enough. That changes this week.

Miami (3-1) vs Pitt (3-2) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Pitt Will Win

It’s not fair to say that Miami was exposed by Clemson, but let’s just say that in hindsight, beating UAB, Louisville and Florida State wasn’t as big a deal as it seemed when the Canes got to 3-0.

Miami has two massive issues – penalties and pass defense.

The Canes were flagged 15 times against the Tigers and 11 times against Louisville – they make way too many mistakes. The secondary is the biggest concern.

Louisville was able to stay alive with over 300 yards and three touchdowns, and Trevor Lawrence and company had few issues last week moving the ball.

Playing five games has something to do with it, but Pitt’s Kenny Pickett leads the nation in total passing yards. He’s coming off a rocky game, but he’s a veteran passer who stepped up his game this year and should be able to push the Cane corners a bit. However …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Miami Will Win

This is Pickett’s fourth crack at Miami. He engineered the big win at the end of the 2017 season, but he’s been awful against the Canes over the last two years.

Besides missing the two-point conversion, what went wrong in the 31-30 loss to Boston College? The secondary was ripped to shreds.

Sort of like Miami’s schedule in the first three games made everything look great, Pitt’s dates with Austin Peay, Syracuse and Louisville weren’t any big whoop. The Panthers might be two points away from being 5-0, but they were lit up through the air by NC State and Boston College over the last two weeks.

Enter D’Eriq King, who’s coming off a rough day against Clemson, but is just the sort of playmaker who should be able to give Pitt a whole slew of problems on the move. The Canes will try to pound away, but King is going to be too accurate to not balance out the O.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

The Pitt pass rush will keep King from going off, but there won’t be enough of a running game to control the tempo. Miami – when it’s working – has been very, very deliberate, holding the ball for 33 minutes per game. It’ll have the ball for ten minutes longer than the Panthers will.
