Miami (FL) Hurricanes vs Florida Gators Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Picks
The Miami Hurricanes and the Florida Gators will reignite the fire of their rivalry on Saturday as two of Sunshine State’s most successful football programs go head-to-head at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida. The Hurricanes will start the college football season as the No.19 ranked program in the nation. Miami has added several key pieces to their roster via transfer portal. Some of the transferees expected to play a significant role for Miami this season are quarterback Cam Ward from Washington State, wide receiver Sam Brown from Houston, and Damien Martinez from Oregon State. Returning for his third season is Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal, who is expected to be on the hot seat throughout the rest of the season. Billy Napier will also return for his third season in Gainesville, hoping this will be the year where the Gators make their Bowl Game return after three consecutive years of missing the postseason event. In an effort to give his team a fresh outlook, Napier overhauled almost his entire coaching staff by hiring a new defensive coordinator, co-offensive coordinator, strength and conditioning coach and nutritionist. Florida will also count on senior quarterback Graham Mertz to lead them to greater heights this season after posting 2,903 passing yards on 72% passing rate with 20 touchdowns and 3 interceptions last season.

Our Miami (FL) Hurricanes vs Florida Gators Prediction
Florida has never lost a season-opener since bowing to Ole Miss in 1989. Unfortunately, that impressive 33-year streak will end at the hands of the Hurricanes on Saturday. Miami has substantially beefed up its defence for this season by securing a commitment from elite defensive players via the transfer portal. After spending five years in Washington with fellow safety Asa Turner, who now plays with the Gators, Mishael Powell will play a much larger role in Miami’s secondary line of defence, one of the team’s weak spots last season. I believe that Miami, who are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against Florida, will try to suffocate the Gators with their defence, prompting them to run the ball more rather than trying to cover yards on air. Our betting prediction for Miami Hurricanes vs. Florida Gators: Back Miami to cover -2.5 point spread, -115, at BetMGM.
