Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Miami vs. California odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Hurricanes survived last Friday against Virginia Tech, winning 38-34. On a Hail Mary with zeroes on the clock, the Hokies appeared to have a game-winning TD. That was the call on the field, but after a lengthy review, the play was overturned, giving Miami the win.
While the initial call on the field appeared to be incorrect, there also didn’t appear to be enough evidence on the replay to overturn the call on the field. It was controversial in that respect, and a reason why the system doesn’t always work properly.
Miami has scored 38 or more points in all 5 games, with the Over going 4-0-1 this season. The Canes are also 2-0 against the spread (ATS) in 2 true road games, with the Over 1-0-1 in those outings.
