Miami vs Texas A&M (9:10am)

  Miami's Elite Defense Will Stifle Texas A&M's Offense

Miami’s success this season can be attributed to its stout defense, which ranks among the nation’s top performers. Under the leadership of defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, the Hurricanes have allowed only 13.8 points per game, securing the fifth-best defense nationally, and 277.8 total yards per game, ranking 11th. Their run defense is quite good as well, surrendering only 86.93 rushing yards per game, the seventh-best in the country, and averaging 2.90 yards per carry, the tenth-best. Remarkably, they have only conceded eight rushing touchdowns throughout the entire season.

Another game-changer for Miami is its pass rush, which ranks 16th nationally with an impressive 2.83 sacks per game and 19th in tackles for loss. The duo of edge rushers, Akheem Mesidor and Rueben Bain Jr., has combined for a staggering 15 sacks, creating havoc and disrupting opposing quarterbacks. Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed has shown flashes of brilliance but struggles with consistency. He ranks 99th in interception rate (3.0%) and posting a 61.8% completion rate (78th nationally). Reed's 18 turnover-worthy plays (eighth-most nationally) could be exploited by Miami's aggressive style, which ranks in the top 15 for havoc created and opponent quality drives.

SportsInsights has 65% of the tickets and money on Texas A&M making this a healthy public fade! I handicapped this matchup at a pick-em, so getting 3 points with Miami is a great value play. The Hurricanes have a strong chance of winning this game outright but I'm taking the points!
