The Miami Hurricanes aren’t just out to prove they are one of the best teams in the country when they host the rival Florida Gators this week, but that The U is back.
Miami has unlocked the best form of Carson Beck, and with him playing behind one of the nation’s best offensive lines, and Mark Fletcher Jr. in the backfield, this Canes offense is balanced and dangerous.
That balance highlights my SGP for this matchup. For a full breakdown and Andrew Caley's Florida vs. Miami predictions, read on for college football picks for Saturday, September 20.
Our best Florida vs Miami SGP for Week 4
The Miami Hurricanes are going to be able to attack the Florida Gators however they want, and their balance is going to be what makes them hard to stop.
On the ground, it starts with Mark Fletcher Jr., the Canes’ top back. He’s already rushed for 272 yards and four touchdowns this season, and he’s a home-run hitter, going at 6.5 yards per carry. He went for 66 yards against a very good Notre Dame defense to open the year.
Florida’s run defense play-to-play is solid, but they’ve been gashed for big gains. Fletcher does that here to go Over this number.
Meanwhile, Carson Beck has some great weapons to throw to. True freshman Malachi Toney is getting a lot of love this season, but CJ Daniels has become Beck’s go-to red zone target. Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing in at 205 pounds, that’s no surprise.
Daniels has scored three times already this season, and I love the odds for him to do so again in this matchup.
That balance on offense combined with a defense that should give DJ Lagway and the Gators fits, and Miami should cover this number no problem.
