Wagner Seahawks vs. Miami Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on Miami here. It’s a big number for the Hurricanes admittedly, but I just think that Wagner, like a lot of the NEC teams that find themselves in these buy games, just don’t have the horses to hang with the step up teams they go up against like Miami. Jai Lucas has a solid squad in Coral Gables and admittedly there will be spots for Miami where they’re simply laying too many points, but I don’t think this is one of those as I think Miami drills Wagner here. Give me Miami.
