Latest line: Miami is favored by 28 1/2 points

Adam Lichtenstein, Miami Hurricanes Writer: Miami 35, Syracuse 7

The Hurricanes are scuffling after their disappointing loss to SMU last week, but now they face one of the worst teams on their schedule. The Orange, who took down Miami last year, have lost five straight games after losing starting quarterback Steve Angeli in their win against Clemson. Since then, the offense has struggled mightily as Syracuse has searched for a new starting quarterback. Miami should hold the undermanned Orange down and pick up a win. Fortunately for UM, there is still hope it can sneak into the playoffs, but the outlook is grim.
