Miami at Florida State picks and predictions
Prediction
Miami 77, Florida State 71
Moneyline
PASS.
Playing the spread here will net more value than playing the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET MIAMI -3.5 (-105).
Miami’s offense is averaging 77.7 ppg (55th) while Florida State’s defense is allowing 73.4 ppg (276th).
Neither team is playing exceptionally well home or away this season, respectively, with the Seminoles posting a 5-5 home record and the Canes posting a 3-3 away record.
The Hurricanes are 25-7 ATS in their last 32 road games and should push that record to 26-7 ATS on Tuesday.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 148.5 (-110).
The Under is 4-3 in Miami’s last 7 games while it is 3-2 in the Seminole’s last 5. The Hurricanes last road game only had 132 total points while Florida State’s last home game only had 125.
With Florida State’s inability to play defense and score the ball efficiently this season, backing the Under seems like the smartest play.
