Why Florida State can cover
While offense and defense draw the majority of the attention, special teams remain an integral part of football and the Seminoles have shown some magic on special teams recently. Samuel Singleton Jr. had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown last week in Florida State’s 23-16 loss to Duke in a contest when all its points were scored on special teams. Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald added three field goals, including one of 53 yards, along with an extra point.
Florida State is a three-touchdown underdog on Saturday, but the Seminoles have only lost one game by more than two scores this season. Despite the 1-6 record, the Seminoles’ average result is a 10-point loss this year. Florida State has won three straight games against Miami and although the programs are in two entirely different places this season, some impact players are still around and playing well for the Seminoles. Ja’khi Douglas leads Florida State with 22 receptions and 354 yards and he had three receptions for 69 yards last season against Miami. See which team to pick here.
Why Miami can cover
When your quarterback is one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy, things are going well in your program. Cam Ward, a fifth-year senior quarterback and transfer from Washington State, has thrown for more than 300 yards in all seven games this season. He leads college football in passing yards (2,538) and touchdowns (24). Ward threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns last week in a 52-45 win over Louisville.
Miami is the No. 1 offense in the country. The Hurricanes lead the nation in scoring (47.0 points per game) and yards (582.0 yards per game) while also leading in yards per play and third-down percentage. The Hurricanes have scored at least 38 points in all seven games and with Florida State being held without an offensive touchdown to Duke last week and scoring only four offensive touchdowns over the last three games, this Miami offense could be too much for Florida State to stay within three scores of.
