DAILY DEBATE: Do we go over 9.5 wins?

The cool part about this thread is I’m sure there will be some very strong takes, and you can put your money where your mouth is on this.

If you live in Florida, the first screenshot is from HardRock Sportsbook. Drop some bread.

If you’re in a DraftKings state, their line is the 2nd screenshot.

The same Vegas that had it juiced to under 9.5 wins last year. Interesting

2 lucky breaks that we're not getting again away from being under.

Too big of a chance we're going into the 5th game and would have to win out to hit the over for me (as a gambler and not as a fan). Mario has always dropped at least 1 game as a favorite in November every year he's ever been HC and we have 5 November games and 3 of our 4 road games are in November.

I wouldn't touch the over at 8.5. Just saying.
 
We split the ND gators games, drop two conference gameswe have no business losing leaving us at 9-3. No acccg or playoffs leaving us to some mid tier bowl where half the team opts out and we never win those, thus the 9-4..

We literally won 10 games one (1) year ago. As in the most recent season we played.

I get the overall point, this program has obviously disappointed more than not in the last 20 years, but we "overachieved" relative to our pre-season win total (which is what this is) literally in the most recent season we played. With one side of the ball playing at a UMass level.

My official prediction is 11-1. I'm drunk enough on the kool-aid. I think we beat ND and UiF and we go 7-1 in the ACC. If we do lose to one of ND or the gator, I still think we win 10 games.

If we lose to both, look out. Bottom might fall out. But if we're at least 3-1 to end September, I think this is a 10 or 11 win team. We're excellent at QB, OL, DL, and CB. Tough to suck when you're very, very good at those spots. Obviously some things have to come together, but that's pretty much every team in college football. The pieces are here. I trust Dawson. Heatherman really seems like he's competent. I like this team a lot. I wish we had a couple cupcakes early to get Beck on board with the pass-catchers, I don't think we're putting quite enough emphasis on the lack of reps he's had. Remember, Cam was throwing since January to a group of kids who had a ton of experience in college. Beck has been throwing only recently to an overall inexperienced group. That scares me. So getting ND right out the gate isn't ideal, but **** it, they're starting a new kid under center who has zero experience, no matter which one it is. And we're home, under the lights. Find out a way to get that one done, tune up the next 2 weeks, and it's off to the races.

Miami beats both ND and UF, barring catastrophic injury(ies), the squad simply can't lose a tilt until ACCCG or that would be a massive failure.

Massive.

I'll argue it's critically important Canes go undefeated in ACC play or just another failed season.

Because this roster right?

Outgained the 2 teams we lost to as well and lost 2 games by a total of 9 points. We were a 10 win team. Not a lucky team, not a smoke and mirrors team. 10 win team.

I’m not gonna argue with you on your take for this year. I think 9.5 is a good line. I’ll be pretty surprised if it’s not 9 or 10 at the end of the day. I do think we have a better shot for 11 than we do for 9. It’s a very good team. At least, I believe that at this point. 8 home games, Mario went undefeated at home last year.

10-2 seems very, very doable. Especially if we get that first one. It’s the only game we’ll be a dog in all year.

Do you predict 8-4 regular season?

Wish I could bet the o/u at 9.5 after the first one. Sadly it doesn’t work that way.

Im with you for the most part. Just skeptical of the coaching.
