In this article, we will formulate a Miami vs Florida State Prediction for this College Football Week 9 Game on Saturday, October 26th, at Hard Rock Stadium.  Let’s take a look at a Miami Hurricanes vs Florida State Seminoles pick.

Florida State is Bad

There is no other way to put it at this point of the season, Florida State is just bad. Coming into this Game, Florida State has only one win on the season, and this offense just doesn’t have a whole lot of talent. In the last Game against Duke, Florida State scored only 16 points and they ended up losing by seven points. Brock Glenn got most of the playing time under center and he completed 9 of his 19 passes for 110 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also rushed nine times for 47 yards.

Florida State is averaging 15 points while their defense is giving up 25 points per game. The offense is ranked 132nd in the league while the defense is ranked 76th overall so far this season. 

Why Florida State Will Beat Miami

• Miami (FL) has lost three of its last four October games as a home favorite.
• The road team has won three of Miami (FL)’s last four games.
• Miami (FL) has failed to cover the spread in 17 of its last 18 October games as a favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.
• The road team has covered the spread in eight of the last 10 games between Florida State and Miami (FL).

Miami Just Keeps Winning

It’s not always pretty, but Miami keeps winning and they sit with a 7-0 record overall. In the last Game against Louisville, Miami scored 52 points and they ended up winning by seven points. Cameron Ward completed 21 of his 32 passes for 319 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Running back Damien Martinez had a strong Game finishing with 12 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown. 

Miami on the season is averaging 48.3 points while their defense is giving up 22.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd best in the league while the defense is ranked 56th best in the league. 

Miami vs Florida State Prediction

Florida State isn’t very good, but Miami has continued to play with fire all season. In the last Game against Louisville, the Hurricanes defense gave up 42 points, and they are going to really struggle to get the defense going here. Florida State’s offense is going to find success here, and it’s going to be enough to keep it close kind of. Miami will still come out ahead, but Florida State will cover the spread.
