Miami vs SMU prediction

Miami vs SMU best bet: Carson Beck Over 1.5 touchdown passes (+106)

Miami Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck has thrown two or more touchdown passes in four of seven games and has rebounded from a rough four-interception outing against Louisville. 

The SMU Mustangs' front seven is stout against the run, and we should expect Hurricane’s offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson to lean on Beck’s arm, and Beck is one of the best in the country.  

He’s averaging 8.24 yards per attempt behind one of the nation’s best pass-blocking units, giving him ample time to find a highly talented WR room led by CJ Daniels. 

Beck faces a Mustangs defense that’s been shredded through the air, allowing 303.5 passing yards per game, 16 passing touchdowns, and nearly 13 yards per completion. 

Miami vs SMU same-game parlay

SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings can also sling the football. He’s thrown for more than 250 passing yards in six of his previous eight games.

Hurricane’s running back Mark Fletcher has nine touchdown scampers this season, with at least one TD in five of his previous six games.

Both offenses can put plenty of points on the scoreboard in a hurry, so I’ll take a shot at the Over.

Miami vs SMU game predictions

Miami vs SMU moneyline prediction

Carson Beck and the Miami Hurricanes’ offense is too potent for the SMU Mustangs, and the Canes defense will get enough stops for Miami to win this game. 

Miami vs SMU spread prediction

I’m leaning toward Miami, but only because the Hurricanes’ defense is better than the Mustangs' stop unit. Miami is 5-2-0 ATS and should win by two touchdowns. 

Miami vs SMU Over/Under prediction

These offenses boast good offensive units with quarterbacks who can get the job done. We’ll go with the Over in this one.
