Miami Facing Do Or Die Scenario In Syracuse
The Miami Hurricanes are 10-1 this season and 6-1 in the ACC. But all of the good things they’ve done this year will be for naught if they lose on the road against Syracuse on Saturday. Unfortunately for the Hurricanes, they have seen each of their last three road games come down to the wire, including a loss in their most recent road game against Georgia Tech. Miami’s defense has been a question mark all season long and it could be one against Kyle McCord and a potent Syracuse passing attack in this must-win matchup.
Syracuse Looks For Third Straight Win
Syracuse has won two games in a row going into their regular season finale against Miami. The Orange have won eight games this year, going 4-3 in the ACC heading into this one. Here, they will look to earn head coach Fran Brown one last shower in the regular season by upsetting Miami and ending their hopes of winning the conference and making the playoff. To do that, Syracuse will need to air it out with their potent passing attack to keep up with the prolific offense of the Hurricanes.
Miami vs Syracuse Best Bet
We are expecting a thrilling Miami vs Syracuse contest from the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse. Both of these teams are very good at putting points on the board with their passing game. And while Miami should be able to get the win here to keep all of their aspirations in tact, we expect Syracuse to cover the spread as a double-digit underdog.
