Why Miami Hurricanes are a good bet +7?

Manny Diaz fielded one of the top defenses in college football last season. Diaz had accepted the job to coach Temple, but after Mark Richt retired, Diaz went back to Hurricane Nation. The Canes were exceptional on defense. They only allowed 19.5 points per.

Why Florida Gators are a good bet -7 ?

Few teams enter this season with as much momentum as the Florida Gators. In Dan Mullen’s first season as head coach, Florida exceeded expectations. The Gators hit a tough patch with back-to-back losses to Georgia and Missouri, as well as a Week 2 loss to Kentucky, but other than that, they were great.

Florida ended their season on a four game win streak. The streak included dominating FSU 41-14 in Tallahassee and beating up Michigan 41-15 in the Chik-Fil-A Bowl. There’s no reason to believe the Gators don’t carry last season’s momentum over to their first game this season.

– Miami vs Florida Final Betting AnalysisAlthough Manny

Diaz is a great coach, he’s saddled with an atrocious offense. Not only that, but the Miami Hurricanes face a defense that returns seven starters.Last season, the Gators defense had to learn Todd Grantham’s different blitz packages and complicated schemes. It took Florida defenders a while to do that. When everything clicked, they dominated teams like FSU and Michigan.On offense, Feleipe Franks is an outsider Heisman Trophy contender. If Florida gets the offensive line together, they could win the SEC. Miami should be easy pickings for a National Championship contender like the Florida Gators.
