Miami (FL) @ Indiana Picks & Props
MIA vs IU Picks
NCAAF Picks
Indiana has steamrolled its opponents in the playoffs, led by Heisman Trophy QB Fernando Mendoza and an offense that rarely makes mistakes, anchored by an elite defense at every level. Miami, by contrast, has shown vulnerabilities. Carson Beck has been turnover-prone, and the Hurricanes rank 113th in the country in penalties per game. Indiana will overwhelm Miami, force critical errors from Beck, and cruise to the National Championship.
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.
