Florida A&M Rattlers vs Miami Hurricanes Predictions

Miami has the edge at quarterback

Florida A&M starting quarterback Isaiah Knowles is expected to miss the rest of the season because of injury, according to Florida A&M Athletics, the school's official athletics site. That leaves the Rattlers with uncertainty at quarterback against a Miami team laying 57.5 points at SPF.

The same preview reports that Miami's Darian Mensah completed 27 of 30 passes for 401 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-6 opening win over Stanford. Florida A&M was outgained 479-161 in its 31-13 loss to South Carolina State. Those performances make Miami the likely winner, but they don't establish a case for a 58-point margin. Pass on the spread; Florida A&M's offensive struggles also give little reason to back the underdog.

Total and moneyline

SPF lists the total at 63.5, with over -105 and under -115. Florida A&M's replacement starter isn't confirmed, which limits any projection of its scoring contribution. Pass on the total. The moneyline price is unavailable, so there's no moneyline wager to recommend.
