Miami Coming Out of The Bye Week
Miami is 3-0 on the road, and the offense is putting up impressive numbers. However, the defense has been trending downward, and the Hurricanes have found themselves in back-to-back close games. For most of the season, Miami made things look easy, but lately, they have required some extra effort.
2 weeks ago, Miami defeated California on the road, 39-38. The Hurricanes needed a 21-3 4th quarter to come back and win this game. The Miami offense recorded 575 yards, with a time of possession of 37 minutes. Additionally, the rushing defense performed well. Although Miami is well-rested, the offense could have a slow start again, as they did against California.
Louisville Ready For Another Ranked Team
Louisville is an above-average team, and their strength of schedule reflects that. The Cardinals are 3-1 at home and 2-1 in conference play. Although Louisville has lost 2 of their last 3 games, both losses were by a single score, and two of those defeats were against ranked teams.
Last week, the Cardinals defeated Virginia 24-20 on the road. It was a defensive first half, and the Louisville offense did just enough to secure the victory. The Cardinals posted 6.6 YPP and performed decently on 3rd downs. The Louisville defense has been solid, and the offense knows how to stay competitive. The Cardinals are on the verge of upsetting a ranked team.
Miami vs Louisville Prediction
The safe bet here is the over, as the spread could go either way. Miami’s offense has still been impressive, but they have barely won their last 2 games. The Louisville offense is slowly improving and has had close games against ranked teams, though they fell short. Miami is well-rested and is the highest-ranked team that Louisville has faced. The Hurricanes are expected to score around 40 points, while the Cardinals will likely be in the high 20s.
