Our Miami Hurricanes vs Ohio State Buckeyes Prediction
The Buckeyes are nearly double-digit favorites in this game; however, the Hurricanes look to be the best betting option. For one, Miami has already played a game in the College Football Playoffs, and while it was not their best effort, they did go on the road to knock off Texas A&M.
Further, the last time we saw Ohio State play, they struggled to do much against a very solid Indiana defense. Miami’s defense has been playing just as good as Indiana’s for a large part of the season, so while an Ohio State win seems likely, our Miami Hurricanes vs Ohio State Buckeyes prediction is: Miami Hurricanes +10.5 Alternate Spread.Claim $200 for your Miami Hurricanes vs Ohio State Buckeyes wager!
