The No. 8 Miami Hurricane (5-0, 1-0 ACC) hit the to face the Cal Golden Bears (3-1, 0-1) Saturday. Kickoff from California Memorial Stadium is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at Miami vs. Cal odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Miami enters on a 5-game win streak following a controversial 38-34 win over the visiting Virginia Tech Hokies Friday. On the final play of the game on a 30-yard Hail Mary pass, officials ruled Va Tech WR Da’Quan Felton came down with the ball out of a group of several players in the back of the end zone for what would have been the winning touchdown.
After a lengthy review, the officials overturned the call. Two hours later, the ACC released a statement stating, “it was determined that the loose ball was touched by a Miami player while he was out of bounds, which makes it an incomplete pass and immediately ends the play.”
Miami won but didn’t cover the 17.5-point spread as favorites and the Over (55.5) cashed in.
Cal was off this past weekend. After going 3-0 in non-conference play, the Golden Bears made their ACC debut only to lose 14-9 at Florida State as 2.5-point underdogs with the Under (44.5) hitting Sept. 21.
