Miami -17½ over South Florida

Hard Rock Stadium – Miami, FL

4:30 PM ET. South Florida is the flavor of the week. Two ranked wins, national headlines, and the market can’t get enough. That’s why this number feels “too high.” It isn’t.

Boise State in Week One was a brand win, not a roster win. Florida in Week Two? Same story. The Gators coughed it up and were looking ahead to LSU. USF did its job, but circumstances drove the results more than dominance.

Now the Bulls are ranked #18 and catching nearly three scores against #5 Miami. That’s not disrespect — that’s the market telling you something. Oddsmakers don’t line a ranked team at +17½ unless they’re daring you to take the bait. That’s the trap. The Hurricanes are the side, and the number confirms it.
