Stanford Cardinal vs. Miami Hurricanes Prediction
I’m leaning towards Miami here. It’s a huge number, but there’s absolutely no reason Miami shouldn’t blow the doors off of Stanford in this game, when you consider the letdown for Stanford after beating Florida State, the travel spot and Miami coming off of a loss. Stanford’s really struggled in a lot of their recent road games and I think Miami wins via blowout here. Give me Miami.
