Josh Pate picks Miami to win

[Steve44]

Vegas has us a big underdog, but analysts keep picking us.

this defense hasn’t given up more than 27 points this year. That 27 was ole miss. And they played 3 top 10 scoring offenses. 3,5,10 to be exact. Overall we played 8 of the top 25 scoring offenses and none of them were able to crack 30. So all this blowout talk is kind of funny to me

I don't have a real feeling about him one way or the other. Just some information for those who put stock into whether someone is a mush.

I hear you. According to his playoff picks, the info indicates we have a 1/3 shot his prediction will hit. Rather be on the other side.

Off topic but why are people such lunatics if a media member doesn’t pick their team win. The comments on these podcasts are wild. Everyone is so **** tribalistic now. Such unearthly culture now.

He hedged worse than Gabby does the A&M game. Took us because of the spread vs OSU, picked them to win.

He’s a big SEC shill lately, always given us our flowers though to be fair. I do also think the closer this gets to the game, more media types will pick us. You’ll have the mouth breathers like Will Compton picking IU big, but if there was a prop bet on who Saban picks, I’d sell all my assets he picks us.

But I put little in what Pate says on the field. Always says safe answers and just leans towards a metric. I think his SEC ties are gonna bleed into this pick. A strong Big Ten is bad business for him. Them winning three in a row would bother him badly.

He’s a big Dan Lanning fan. Killed him last week.

Hes not wrong. He's smart enough to realize that when our team is on, we are difficult to stop.

His big thing is if we run for more than 150 yards, we should be in good position to win. He's probably right.

...Personally speaking, this feels like a "Whomever gets to 27 first wins" game.

No, Indiana ain't dropping a 50 burger on us. We are NOT Oregon.

I love our chances. Our guys have been forged, bloodied, and have fought their guts out in the post season. Indiana hasn't been tested in awhile; and they might start to believe their own hype. We'll see about that 7 hours of practice a week.

Greentree makes legends.

Just can’t shoot ourselves in the foot.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

The leaders on the team also need to keep everyone calm and locked in.

As Mario said in his presser, "don't make the game bigger than it is".

An opportunity to go 1-0

Rat poison

 

[Salt]

is he going by his usual prediction model?
