The Miami Hurricanes are 8-0 ATS when the line is between +3 to -3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Florida is set to face Miami for the 55th time in school history, as it comes off a 24-6 season-opening victory over the Toledo Rockets as 23.5-point home favorites last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total of 55.5.\u00a0 The Gators haven\u2019t faced the Hurricanes since 2008, but both sides have great respect for one another.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re very well aware of each other and we have great respect for them,\u201d commented Gators coach Will Muschamp.\u00a0 This year\u2019s team returned 41 letterwinners and 10 starters\u2014led by quarterback Jeff Driskel.\u00a0 Florida is 1-5 ATS as road favorites of three points or less in its last six opportunities, which is important to consider when making your NCAA football predictions Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Gators owned a 3948-20:12 advantage in time of possession against the Rockets in Week 1\u2014controlling the football in every quarter.\u00a0 Florida is 13-0 under Muschamp\u2019s watch when rushing for 150 or more yards.\u00a0 Entering the 2013 campaign, the team\u2019s offensive line combined for 89 career starts, which happens to be the most for the program since 2000.\u00a0 On the other side of the football, the program is one of four nationally to rank in the top 10 in total defense in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n

Miami picked up a resounding 34-6 victory over Florida Atlantic as 31-point home favorites last Friday, while going UNDER the betting total of 54.5.\u00a0 The Hurricanes outgained the Owls by 253 total yards, which is important to consider when looking over the NCAA football odds page.\u00a0 Defensively, the team hasn\u2019t allowed a touchdown at home since Nov. 1 of last season\u2014a span of 161 minutes.\u00a0 Miami is 8-0 ATS when the line is between +3 to -3 the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in terms of the betting total (4-4 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes are in their sixth season of playing home games at Sun Life Stadium\u2014putting together a 21-11 record over that span.\u00a0 Miami has won its last four non-conference home games by an average margin of 29.8 points.\u00a0 Running back Duke Johnson recorded a career-high 186 rushing yards last week, but didn\u2019t play play most of the second half after being shaken up on a play.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Hurricanes due to their 5-1 ATS mark in their last six home games.<\/p>\n
