What a game tonight! After no games the last tonight's this may be the hardest game so far I have done this year. As I'm looking over all of my numbers here. I ask myself, Self Everyone and their brother loves A&M tonight along with the UNDER. Well the opening lines for this game were Miami -3 and the O/U opened at 48. Why would the Canes still be favored against #20 Texas A&M? Lets take a look
Texas A&M hasn't proven it should be considered one of the top teams in the nation. They have played Montana St. UL-Monroe, Blew a 19-point lead against Fresno St. So they really have not played anyone and I'm not sure if they deserve the #20 ranked team in the country. Miami of course has not really played anyone either with there 2-wins against Marshall and Fla-Int. The Ass kicking they got from Oklahoma 2-weeks ago was a wake up call for the Canes Miami has a lot to prove and a win would go a long way for this team's confidence. Kyle Wright has been better than average over his career and I expect him to have a good season now that he is entrenched as the starter after averaging 11.0 yppp last week. Texas A&M doesn’t defend the pass well, as the Aggies have allowed 6.3 yppp to two bad passing teams (Montana State and UL Monroe) and one average passing team (Fresno State) who would combine to average only 5.0 yppp against an average defensive team. While Miami is having success in the air it will be up to the Hurricanes’ stout run defense (4.0 yards per rushing play allowed) to contain the Aggies’ outstanding rushing attack (301 yards per game at 6.5 yprp).
We will fade the public tonight
