Miami vs Syracuse Prediction
In this Miami vs Syracuse Prediction, Miami is coming as -1.5 road favorites. Miami has been the better team this season and have been great on the road but are coming off back-to-back losses and are 3-6 against the spread in their last 9 games. Syracuse has been very strong at home but they have also dropped two straight games, so I don’t trust either side in this matchup. From a total perspective, both teams are 11-4 to the over in their last 15 games combined, so I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 150.5 points in this one.
