Why can Miami (Ohio) cover
The RedHawks offence faltered at times in 2022, but the healthy return of Brett Gabbert adds interest. The fifth-year quarterback has a career throwing yardage total of 6,259 with 45 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Gabbert’s 2022 season was marred by injuries, although he topped the MAC in touchdown passes, passing efficiency, and adjusted yards per pass attempt in 2021. He’ll also go up against a Miami (Fla.) defence that was near the bottom of the ACC in yards allowed per play (5.9) and net yards allowed per pass attempt (8.35). Miami (Ohio) is also a fantastic defensive squad.
The RedHawks return the majority of a strong defence that topped the MAC with 22.5 points allowed per game and 135.8 running yards allowed per game in 2022. Last season, opponents averaged less than four yards per run against Miami (OH), while the RedHawks topped the MAC with 40.1 net yards per punt in 2022. Miami (OH) is expected to hold up on defence in this contest, despite scoring just 23.6 points per game and converting only 54.2% of red zone efforts into touchdowns.

Why can Miami (Fla.) cover
In this game, the Hurricanes should profit greatly from a lacklustre Miami (OH) offence. Last season, the RedHawks averaged the fewest passing yards (165.5 per game) of any MAC club, while Miami (OH) finished second-worst in the MAC in points per game (20.2) and total yards (306.4 per game). Miami (OH) also averaged 3.8 yards per rush and converted just 32% of third-down chances.
The Hurricanes return seven starters and 77% of their total defence productivity from last season, and Miami (Fla.) was at the top of the ACC with 37 sacks. Akheem Mesidor led the team with seven sacks, while Jahfari Harvey returned from a year earlier with 5.5 sacks. Last season, opponents averaged just 4.0 yards per run against the Hurricanes, and sophomore free safety Kamren Kinchens stands out. Last season, he was named an All-American after recording 59 tackles and led the ACC with six interceptions. After topping the ACC with 42.9 net yards per punt in 2022, Miami (Fla.) may be able to acquire an advantage in the punting game. Check out which team to choose here.
