Elon Phoenix vs. Miami Hurricanes Prediction
I’m on Miami here. I just think that not all 3-1 record are created equal, and Miami’s done a good job of beating up on their inferior opponents up to this point in the year. Elon has been able to pick up some wins and the Phoenix do have some solid individual pieces, but I think Miami’s that much better and they bag the win and cover at home in this one. Give me Miami.
