Syracuse at Miami picks and predictions
Prediction
Miami 74, Syracuse 69
Moneyline
No lean and a lot of juice. AVOID.
Against the spread
Syracuse is 4-2 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these sides.
The Hurricanes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up loss and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against winning teams.
There are some trends and analytic measures swinging both ways here. PASS.
Over/Under
The Under is 7-1-1 in the Hurricanes’ last 9 against winning teams, 6-1-1 in the Orange’s last 8 against winning teams and 8-1 in the last 9 series meetings.
Expect a moderate pace in this contest. The only major threat in the score-spiral department is Miami’s offensive rebounding and put-back ability, but that has waned a tad of late. Both teams operate with solid handles on the ball and are adept at defending without fouling and neither side draws fouls at even an average rate.
BACK THE UNDER 150.5 (-115).
