After dominating the Stanford Cardinal 45-6, the Miami Hurricanes can officially say that they're 1-0 to start the 2026-27 college football season. However, the team will be turning the page quickly to host in-state foe, FAMU Rattlers next Thursday.

On Saturday morning, FanDuel Sportsbook released next weekend's odds as the Hurricanes have opened up as a ginormous 53.5-point favorite over the Rattlers. The over/under is set at 60.5. So far this season, the Hurricanes are 1-0 against the spread, covering against the Cardinal.

FAMU is also 1-0 on the season, downing Albany State 20-7. Starting quarterback Isaiah Knowles completed 14 of his 23 passes while adding one score against the Golden Rams. Running back Jamal Hailey stuffed the stat sheet rushing for 54 yards on 16 attempts.

Based on how Miami's offense looked in the win over Stanford. This should be an easy cover for the Hurricanes, though it's worth noting that head coach Mario Cristobal likes to ease off in the fourth quarter against FCS foes. Cristobal is 3-5 against the spread when playing an FCS opponent.

ESPN’s Football Power Index gives Miami a 99.0% chance to win. As always, no matter who you bet on, please, please bet responsibly.

Yeah I’m not taking that spread. Will probably take some sort of player prop or maybe FAMU team total under depending on the numbers

Bet on the game Undone I don’t see Mario running it ip
I’ll take the under too . Mario will call off the dogs
 
Don't the two head coaches know each other? We'll do the First Team thing through the first half than sit the starters and do scrimmage in the second. I think Mario wants to take it easy on FAMU.
NO....its the Bethune Coach Mario is great friends with. He could give two ***** about FAMU...IM taking Miami bigly
 
Seems like a game Mario will want to shorten and work on the run game. Probably a lot of shuffling around on the o line.
