South Florida vs Miami Prediction
The current betting odds have South Florida listed as a 17.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. South Florida has a 2-0 record overall this season and they have looked great to start the season. They are now a ranked team and they are also the only team in the nation with 2 ranked wins under their belt, beating Boise State in week 1 and now coming off a huge upset win on the road over Florida last week. They are making a statement to be a threat for that group of 5 playoff spot this year and so far they have shown that they can win in different ways, beating Boise State with offense in week 1 and beating Florida with defense last week. Meanwhile, Miami has a 2-0 record overall this season and they have looked great in their 2 games. They just beat up on a team from the FCS in their last one, but they opened the season with a big home win over Notre Dame. As good as they looked in that Notre Dame win, they struggled to put Notre Dame away and that allowed them back into the game with a chance to win it in the end. Miami has a lot more talent on both sides of the ball than this South Florida team, but those late game decisions are something that has plagued this Miami team in recent years and this is not the kind of team that they want hanging around late in this game. This is still an in-state rivalry too so South Florida is going to bring their best effort in this one and they are the team this year that has a lot more to prove. The best way to place a bet here is on South Florida to cover the spread in this game.
