Duke at Miami FL Betting Tips – Hurricanes To Bounce Back In College Football
Miami are tipped to cover the spread against Duke as they aim to bounce back from their first loss of the season. The Hurricanes have won all six ACC games so far and have covered in three of four home games. Their elite rush defence is expected to limit Duke’s impressive running game, while Darian Mensah is predicted to exploit his former team’s secondary. Although Miami’s pass defence remains a concern, their overall form and home advantage support the tip to cover a double-digit spread.

Duke On Three-Game Win Streak
Duke head to Miami with a 7-2 record, knowing that one more defeat is likely to end their hopes of playing for the ACC Championship and a place in the college football playoffs.
The Blue Devils opened with non-conference wins over Tulane, 17-3, and Illinois, 31-27, before starting their ACC slate with a 35-7 blowout of Stanford.
They followed that up with a 62-7 non-conference demolition of William & Mary, only to see their form slump when they returned to ACC action.
Duke were beaten 28-25 on the road at Georgia Tech, and then suffered a 24-20 defeat when they returned home to beat North Carolina.
The Blue Devils have rallied in recent weeks though, sandwiching a 47-2 blowout of Boston College at home with road wins at Virginia, 19-16, and NC State, 41-3.
Miami Suffered First Loss Last Time Out
Miami return home looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the season, which cost them top spot in the rankings.
The Hurricanes began the season by sandwiching a 77-7 non-conference blowout of Florida A&M with road wins at ACC rivals Stanford, 45-6, and Wake Forest, 33-20.
They then crushed Central Michigan at home, 52-3, before returning to conference duty with four consecutive wins.
Miami beat Clemson 41-13 on the road, and followed that up with a 43-35 win over Florida State, a 52-23 rout of Pittsburgh, and a 38-35 success at North Carolina.
However, the Hurricanes’ perfect run was finally ended last weekend, as they were beaten 31-24 at Notre Dame.
Verdict
Miami’s defeat at Notre Dame has knocked them out of the top-five in the rankings, and whatever your thoughts are the simple truth is they must now win the ACC Championship to make the postseason.
They need to reel off some convincing wins to boost their chances of climbing the rankings too, and we expect them to cover a double digit spread as they take down Duke.
