Miami -9.5 vs. F$U

[PCBcanefan]

Take the $ out of FSU. They don’t have any money left after Willie

Weren’t we favored by 14 just a couple of years ago?

2018, and we came back down 3 scores.

I listen all week to Nole podcasts because they all knew they were going to lose. Game played out very differently, they were up 27-7 WITH the ball. That’s the game with the screen pass that got called back that is their version of the 2002 Fiesta Bowl PI call.

I think it was in 2016 and we lost. This year, is an entirely different situation for both programs. We cover, easily.

2016 was the missed XP game.

Prediction?

These rivalry games are bad spots to lay that many points. FSU looks like a dumpster fire and doesn’t even have their HC, but I probably stay away from this one pregame.

That said, I do think Miami is still undervalued by the bookmakers, and UM might run away with this one.

Everybody calm the Fakk down! It’s a rivalry game and .......

 

[Odysseus]

Rivalry games are strange but with Manny and Ed here now we'll be focused and if we bring our A game this will be over at half time

 

[plantcity3]

I gave them 10 in the gameday thread

Some of you are delusional and have short memories.

Someone tell ESPNs bull**** FPI algorithm that's running on a Commodore 64

Half the people here don’t have any idea what a Commodore 64 is

 

[Canestomp]

There is no reason we shouldn't be able to push FSU's **** in this year. They are not a good team and they have TONs of distractions both on and off field. The line is going to open up but I still say we win by at least three touchdowns.

Since 1990 (29 games) Miami-FSU has been decided by one score in 18 of those games, 62% of the time. Never forget 2014 and 2015 where FSU was in the BCS picture and we were WAY down; both of those games we should have won and Cook carried them to a late comeback victory.

Moral of the story - do not EVER overlook a rivalry game like this. Both teams usually show up and FSU will pull out all the stops to make this their "no one believes in us" game.

We win, but too many points for me - in a rivalry game - to take UM. Not like we still don't have weaknesses on both sides of the ball that can exploited.

Didn’t famous jameis crab legs need a game winning drive to beat us in 2014?

 

[AutoCANE]

-11 when I checked on DraftKings last night. My gut says we beat them by 3 TD's+ but I don't like the idea of giving that many points in a rivalry game, so I'm staying away from betting this one.

 

[atlCanesFan]

I want to crush FSU worse than the year they came out with their famous rap video. We need to give recruits a real reason to pick us over other schools..........just win baby!

I would love to drop 40+ on them, with that said since this is a huge rivalry I'm going to temper my excitement and just hope for the win.

 

[Poptimus]

It’s now up to -10.5. And before anyone says our games are always close, F$U is coming off a bye, F$U may be without their coach, etc, that is already factored into the line or it it won’t be. Our history against them really doesn’t matter in this game.

[AUcane]

we SHOULD beat them similar to last year. But man, we;ve been down this road before playing a home game against an outmanned FSU squad. No coach, talent is a mess - this should be a 2+ score victory (probably by 10-14 points).

IIRC, the 2018 game got up to Miami -17 before kickoff, and we were losing 27-7 in the 2nd half. Not that it has anything to do with this year, just saying that was an insanely high spread for this game and we didn't have a shot to cover from the opening kickoff.
