Another Thursday is upon us which means another Thursday night college football game to pick. This time it will be Miami out of the ACC Conference taking on the UAB Blazers. For the Canes, it is their season opener as UAB prepares for their second game of the year. Former Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Manny Diaz heads into his second season as the head coach.
Last season Diaz had one of the top 25 defenses in the country that allowed just north of 20 points per game. The offense is really where their problems lie, so why not bring in a new quarterback to get the party started. D’Eriq King transfers in to Miami at four years at Houston. He had a breakout year in 2018 and looks to return Miami to their former glory. Should be an interesting game to watch.
Line: According to BetMGM the line is (-14) in favor of Miami.
