This spread seems inflated based on Indiana's last performance which wasn't as dominant as the final score might indicate. It's been very tough to get margin on Miami over the last two and a half years. Each of their last eight losses has come by seven points or less. Miami will also get a homefield boost.

48 is obviously a key number in college football totals betting. Faith in the Hurricanes at +7.5 should be paired with an Under 48.5. They are both bets on Miami’s defensive ends.
