Vegas wasted no time handing Miami a little respect.

The Hurricanes opened as a slight favorite over Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl.

FanDuel has the Canes as a 2.5-point favorite with a total of 51.5. Kickoff is set for Thursday, Jan. 8, at 7:30 EST (ESPN) Arizona.

Miami is fresh off one of the most complete performances of the CFP, controlling Ohio State and beating Texas A&M. Ole Miss, of course, isn’t exactly sneaking in either. The Rebels took down Georgia yesterday night 37-34.

According to ESPN Analytics, Miami has a 55.6 percent chance of beating Ohio State.

Whoever you pick, bet responsibly.

I don’t like it… I wanna stay the underdog for the entirety of this run.

Vegas needs to review this. How can the #10 seed be a favorite over a mighty (only) SEC team?

Draft kings has moved up to 3, from 2.5.

Fuuuuuck, I haven't been this jacked about us in 20 years. I literally wake up and I'm like, this is really happening. How lame I've become.

spot the ball and lets go. Hopefully Heatherman has picked up some tricks after facing Brohm and Lashlee. I feel like Weiss will have the same type of game plan. I dont think he will roll out as much as he did against UGA (if those were scripted and not just backyard ball), we contain mobile QBs better but the quick, two second throws Moss and Jennings did will be abundant. Secondary cant give that big cushion, tackling needs to be A1 and Bain is starting to get an INSANE amount of attention.

I was re-watching the OSU highlights for like the 15th time and watch the final play from the regular field angle, not skycam, Bain is on the RT, Lightfoot lined up at nose and Messidor over the LT Just prior to the snap Lightfoot shades over the LG, at the snap the C, RG and RT all immediately run to Bain the C legit sprints to recover and snaps his head immediately to Bain at the snap, leaving LF 1 on 1, Bain STILL forces Sayin to step up and LF puts a big hit on him as he releases, forces the INT. Wild Play.
