USF at Miami picks and predictions
Prediction
Miami 34, USF 19
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Hurricanes (-900) to win at home Saturday.
Against the spread
BET USF +17.5 (-110).
The Bulls are coming off a major upset last week at Florida and will carry that momentum with them. While their opponent helped them majorly with penalties, the Bulls showed grit to keep in the fight.
The Hurricanes handled their opponent last week, but not nearly in the fashion many expected. In their first game of the season against Notre Dame, the Hurricanes escaped with a 3-point win. Saturday, while they should win with ease, will be a tougher opponent.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 56.5 (-110).
The Bulls have hit the Under in both of their games this season, holding opponents to 16 points or fewer, while scoring just 18 points last week.
The Hurricanes hit the Under last week and held their opponent to just a field goal. Expect them to limit the Bulls' scoring opportunities while chewing a lot of clock in the process.
