Why Miami can cover
Miami is off to its best start since going 10-0 to open the 2017 season, powered by the top scoring offense in the country at 46.8 points per game. The Hurricanes also have the best third-down conversion percentage (59.8), while quarterback Cam Ward ranks second nationally in passing touchdowns (24) and third in passing yards per game (343.3). Ward’s top target is wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, who is second in the ACC in receiving yards (710).
Running back Damien Martinez had 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win over Florida State last week, averaging 9.9 yards per carry. Miami’s defense has been shaky this season, but Duke ranks 14th in the ACC in scoring (26.0). The Blue Devils are going to have trouble exploiting Miami’s weakness on Saturday, and the Hurricanes have covered the spread in eight of the last 12 meetings between these teams.

Why Duke can cover
Duke has only lost one game by double digits this season, which came in a 24-14 final at Georgia Tech at the beginning of October. The Blue Devils bounced back from that loss by covering the spread as 2.5-point favorites in a win over Florida State. They put together another strong performance last week, as they had a 2-point conversion opportunity to win the game in overtime against then-No. 22 SMU.
Sophomore quarterback Maalik Murphy completed 27 of 48 passes for 295 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Mustangs. He also had three touchdown passes in a road win at Northwestern as a 2-point underdog earlier this season. Duke is unbeaten against the spread in its last five games. See which team to pick here.
