Miami among betting favorites to win the ACC

I would put my money on Clemson because they know how to win. I have ZERO confidence in Mario as head coach to lead us to an ACC Championship or to the playoffs. He is a great recruiter and will give him that but one of the worst day game coaches in America. Just stating the facts.

So are you saying winning the PAC 12 twice which Mario did as HC is easier than winning the ACC at least once?

Two not so-very promising signs from someone involved in the industry.

Miami has been lengthened to +3 opening week against ND after originally opening +1. Circa actually flashed a +4 (that was quickly gobbled up). Anything over 3 was too many points, but sharps have generally been all over the Irish, despite what should be a hostile environment.

Miami also opened -6 against UF, that has now plummeted to -3.5. Lot of steam and hype for the Gators; color me skeptical, but nonetheless they should be better than 2024.

Two big games, two games the market is fading the Canes. Those first 4 game of the season in general, are so critical for this team’s outlook.

We need to win the ACC. Losing or beating either of these two does nothing to win the ACC.

It’s the losing to the less-talented North Carolinas and Pittsburghs that’s hurting the program.

Perhaps the betting markets are finally catching up to the reality of the past 25 years.
 





Almost as if Jim Cramer runs these sports betting sites.

Well one thing is Miami will be much bigger at DT than last year and really in Mario's tenure.

Last season you had Barrow and Mesidor starting at DT. Barrow was like 6'1 288, and Mesidor was 6'2 maybe 280.

This year you will start Moten 6'3 310 and Blay at 6'4 304, and Scott could break into lineup at 6'4 300.

Your 4th DT will be either Jones at 6'3 310 or Donta Simpson who is 6'4 maybe already 300.

With Bain at 270 and Mesidor back down around 270, your overall size on DL maybe biggest in the conference.

Our starting DL is fearsome. The IDL is too thin. The good news is we have ND G1 and UF G4. Hopefully everyone will be healthy for those two and we enter conference play undefeated and firing on all engines.
 
Technically, Golden qualified for the ACC Championship game, but the cloud took it away. 🤣

I figure if he can do it, then Mario must be able to do it (and win it). Right? Right??

We should line up the number 4 and 5 DT's for the top 20 teams in America, see how they stack up.
 
I like Miami's odds in the ND game, despite the fact that the Sharps are going heavily in ND's favor. I think they are underselling Beck because they don't have any recent game tape on him and don't really know what the offense will be like with him under center.

Plus our defense last year under Guidry was ***, so we only have Heatherman at Minnesota to go on. So nobody should be surprised at ND, with a lot of the guys who went up against Taint in the Natty and lost to them, are back again whilst you had turnover at Miami.

Be glad we have Beck under center. If it was Emory or anyone else under center, the Irish would be going into this game as a nine point favorite.
