The Miami Hurricanes (5-4, 3-2 ACC) visit the Florida State Seminoles (3-6, 2-4) Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Miami vs. Florida State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.
The Hurricanes have scored 28 or more points in six straight games, winning three in a row while going 3-1 ATS across the past four outings. While “The U” isn’t quite back, they’re definitely on an upward trajectory.
The Seminoles need to win out to avoid another missed postseason. It’s a rather tall order facing Miami on Senior Day before closing out the season with trips to Boston College and Florida. FSU has dropped two in a row, while going 2-6 ATS across the past eight games overall.

Prediction
Miami 31, Florida State 27
Money line
MIAMI (-135) is a decent play on the money line if you don’t want to bother with laying the small point spread. Really, the price isn’t terribly out of line.
Against the spread
MIAMI -2.5 (-112) has registered a 4-0 ATS mark across the past four games on the road. On the flip side, Florida State +2.5 (-108) is a dismal 2-6 ATS in the previous eight games overall, while going 9-23-2 ATS in the past 34 against teams with a winning mark. FSU is also just 1-5 ATS in the past six against the ACC.
The Hurricanes have posted a 6-1 ATS mark in the past seven trips to Tallahassee, Fla., with the road team also cashing in six of the past seven meetings.
Over/Under
The UNDER 61.5 (-115) is the lean. While it’s been all about the Over lately for Miami, going 4-0 in the past four overall, the Under is 18-8-2 in the past 28 road games for the Canes. The Under is 6-2 in the past eight for FSU against winning teams.
