Miami Still Undefeated For Now
The Miami Hurricanes have won each of their first five games this season and are ranked eighth in the country going into this weekend. But Miami is fortunate to be undefeated after last week, when a controversial review took a game-winning touchdown away from the Virginia Tech Hokies to give Miami their first win in ACC play. Miami's offense put up 38 points in that game and has been brilliant all season long, but the defense of the Canes was suspect against the Hokies. If the Hurricanes want to stay unbeaten after this game, they will need to get back on track on that side of the ball.
Huge Opportunity For Cal Football
So far this year, the California Golden Bears are 3-1, though they are 0-1 in the ACC after losing their conference opener to Florida State two weeks ago. This game represents a massive opportunity for the Golden Bears, as they look to prove that they belong in this conference while knocking off a top-10 opponent. Cal will also be the site of College Gameday this week, meaning added attention going into this ACC matchup. But taking all of the sideshow elements out of the equation, Cal's defense has allowed 14 or fewer points in all four of their games this season and their defense will face its stiffest test yet in this game.
Miami vs Cal Prediction
It is hard to imagine Cal doing a ton of scoring in this game, even if we saw Miami's defense struggle against Virginia Tech last week. But the Cal defense should hold its own in this Miami vs Cal contest. Rather than taking a side in this game, we will bet the under, as we should see both defenses have plenty of success in what will be an entertaining affair out West.
