It’s a battle for state supremacy when the No. 3 Miami Hurricanes visit the No. 18 Florida State Seminoles.
FSU is coming off a wild 46-38 2OT loss to Virginia, its first defeat of the season, while Miami is yet to lose, knocking off a couple of other Florida-based squads in South Florida and Florida in back-to-back weeks.
Both teams can score, with the ‘Noles currently leading the ACC in scoring, and Miami in at no. 7.
Let’s take a look at the player props available and share our favorite Miami vs. Florida State picks.
Miami vs Florida State props for Week 6
Beck o1.5 passing TDs (
Sawchuk anytime TD (Prop bet #1: Carson Beck Over 1.5 passing TDs
It’s been both a fresh and great start for Georgia transfer Carson Beck. Miami’s new pivot has thrown for 972 yards and seven TD’s to start the year, against just three interceptions.
He is, however, coming off his worst statistical passing day as a Hurricane, throwing for just 160 yards, no TD’s and an interception in a 26-78 win over Florida.
The Florida State Seminoles do have the third-best pass defense in the ACC, allowing just 184.5 yards per game and five total passing TD’s, but they were just torched by Virginia.
Chandler Morris threw for 229 yards and a pair of scores. Beck should be able to reach that touchdown number in what will be a great bounce back effort.
Prop bet #2: Gavin Sawchuk anytime TD
Miami’s run defense is elite ranking eighth in the nation allowing just 76.2 yards per game. They’ve also allowed the fewest rush scores in the ACC, with two.
But we’re at a conundrum, as FSU running back Gavin Sawchuk leads Florida State with six TD’s on the season, and he’s hit paydirt at least once in every game.
FSU’s schedule has some merit, as Sawchuk found the endzone against Alabama in the opener, a Top 10 team.
The Seminoles are also the leading rushing team in the ACC, piling up a whopping 336.3 yards per contest – no other team is even at 245 yards.
Great rushing offense vs great rushing defense? I think it meets somewhere in the middle. In this case, I’ll take the plus odds Sawchuk punches one in.
Prop bet #3: CJ Daniels Over 46.5 receiving yards
We’ll finish with CJ Daniels, who has a very gettable 46.5 yard receiving line against Florida State.
Daniels has topped this line twice in four games this year, missing a third Over against No. 6 Notre Dame by a single yard.
Virginia showed that the Seminoles’ pass defense could be punctured. Daniels has been involved in every game, catching at least four passes in each.
Against another ranked opponent, look for him to again to a prominent target for Carson Beck.
