Miami vs Texas A&M Prediction
The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked great in their games this season with their 11-1 record overall and their 7-1 conference record which had them right near the top of the SEC. They have looked great on their home field too with their 7-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, Miami has looked good in their games this season with their 10-2 record overall and their 6-2 conference record which had them right near the top of the ACC. They were a good road team too with their 3-1 road record this year. Miami ended the regular season with a 38-7 road win over Pittsburgh and they looked really good in their final games of the season, blowing a lot of teams out. They finished as the highest ranked team in the ACC too, but they did trip up twice this year which kept them out of the ACC Championship game. They got into the CFP over Notre Dame due to their head-to-head win, but they are still really fortunate to even be in the playoffs and they can't be trusted to go far with the way they struggled in a weaker conference this year. Texas A&M was rolling all season and ended up losing their final game of the regular season to Texas which kept them out of the SEC Championship, but they were still one of the best teams in the SEC all season with one of the best offenses too. Their defense hasn't looked great at times, but they have also looked like a completely different team in their home games, and they will be looking to bounce back after a bad loss to Texas to end the regular season. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
"Yeah, nobody's really stopped him this year. I mean, you said it correctly. He's a true dual-threat guy, but he could very easily be one of the other at the highest level at any point in time in the game. And his ability to extend plays improvise, he can do it as a drop-back passer. He could do it as a dual threat guy, and stretch run it option, run it triple option it, design quarterback runs, just break contain and head downfield, or just extend the play, find somebody open down the field." - Mario Cristobal on his team’s first playoff game against Texas A&M.
“Their front played a lot harder that ours. They just had a better game plan in the second half for us.” - Marcel Reed after their loss against Texas in their regular season finale.
