Prediction:
Both teams looked out of sorts last game, but I have a difficult time trusting Florida State as a double-digit favorite right now after being undressed by Virginia. I don’t doubt the Seminoles are a very good team and are going to be solid the rest of the season, but I feel like bouncing back strong might be difficult after falling badly in what could have been a statement game. I’m going to take Miami with the points today.
