SMU -1½ -110 at BUCKEYE |
in 12h |
My selection is on SMU minus the points over Miami at 7 pm et on Wednesday. SMU is an unpopular favorite on Wednesday's board and we'll back the Mustangs as they return home following a winless two-game road trip. After falling just short in a four-point loss at Cal, the Mustangs had their doors blown off by a desperate Stanford team last time out. The Mustangs weren't able to play at their preferred pace in either of those contests but I do think they can push Miami in this one. Note that SMU continues to play reasonably well defensively, holding three straight opponents to 26 or fewer made field goals entering Wednesday's action. The Hurricanes check in off consecutive wins over Florida State and Boston College. They were fortunate that the lowly Eagles weren't able to take advantage of their scoring opportunities last time out, connecting on just 20-of-50 field goal attempts. Prior to that Miami had allowed 27 or more made field goals in four straight contests and 26 or more in eight of its last nine overall. This is the first and only regular season matchup between these teams this season and as such I think the betting markets are having a bit of a difficult time pricing it appropriately. Take SMU (8*). |
