Louisville @ Miami (FL) Picks & Props

For my money, Miami looks like the best team in the country at this point. They are excellent in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and we are seeing the best version of Carson Beck. Louisville is a solid defensive team, but the offense has been lacking. Miller Moss has been inefficient, and the Cards aren't getting much out of the run game. That's not a recipe for success against this Canes team. Miami's balance will wear down Louisville as the game progresses, allowing them to cover this spread.

Only one player has rushed for more than 55 yards against Miami this year, and it was FSU QB Tommy Castellanos, who ran for 57 yards. Look for the Canes to keep it stingy in the run game.

Daniels has been steadily involved in the Miami offense, catching at least four balls in every game, with five grabs in three of those games. Daniels is tied with Canes RB Mark Fletcher for the team lead in TDs with five, and he’s got plus odds to score Friday as opposed to -270 odds for Fletcher. 

Beck has been very consistent getting to the end zone, as he’s recorded at least two touchdown passes in four of five games this season. The Cardinals boast the top passing defense in the ACC by yards and is tied for third in fewest TD passes on the season, with five. However, Louisville has played just one ranked team (Virginia) to this point.
