The current betting odds have Miami listed as a 30.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Miami has looked really good in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall, but their 1-1 conference record has them right in the middle of the ACC. They were ranked like one of the best teams in the nation going into last weekend, but they picked up their first loss of the season to Louisville. They looked terrible in that game with Carson Beck having his worst game of the season, but Louisville isn't a bad team and Miami is still one of the best teams in the ACC. They will be looking to bounce back better than ever and take out their frustrations from that loss. Meanwhile, Stanford hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 3-4 record overall, but their 2-2 conference record has them right in the middle of the ACC. They are off a 20-13 win over Florida State in their last one and they do have some impressive wins this season, but they have also been night and day when it comes to playing at home or away. They are 3-0 in their home games this season and have looked a lot better in those, but they are 0-4 in their road games and have looked like a completely different team at times. Their offense hasn't been great all season as they don't put up a ton of points, even playing at home, but their defense has looked a lot better in home games, giving up a lot more points on the road. This is a terrible game for Stanford to run into Miami on the road with Miami coming off that bad home loss. The best way to place a bet here is on Miami to cover the spread in this game.

“It comes down to the last play. Just credit to our defense ... just to keep him just short of the goal line. I know it was close, but just that last-ditch effort to get him on the ground. Big play.” - Frank Reich after his team’s win against FSU in their last game. 

“Obviously, a really disappointing evening and outcome. At the end of the day, credit to them. ... We didn't coach well enough, we didn't execute well enough and came up short. Just not good enough." - Mario Cristobal after his team’s loss against Louisville in their last game.
