Miami are tipped to cover as they blow out Florida State in this rivalry game.
This Seminoles defense has given up a bunch of points against ranked teams, and their struggles against the run are a huge issue because they are now facing Mark Fletcher.
Fletcher – and his supporting cast – can run all over the Noles, while Darian Mensah produces yet another efficient passing display as the Canes pull away on the scoreboard.

Florida State Suffered Third Loss Last Time Out
Florida State enter this match on the back of a collapse in Louisville that resulted in a third defeat of the season.
Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell was on the hotseat coming into the season, and an underwhelming 34-17 win over New Mexico State on opening weekend did little to help his cause.
Neither did the 27-24 loss to SMU in their ACC opener, and that was followed by a 50-36 defeat in Alabama a week later.
Florida State snapped the two-game skid with a 34-7 win over Central Arkansas, and then backed that up with a first conference win as they beat Virginia 38-7.
However, the Seminoles were unable to make it three-in-a-row, as they blew a 14-point lead in a 44-20 defeat in Louisville last time out.
Miami FL Boast Perfect Record After Five Games
Miami enter this matchup boasting a perfect 5-0 record, having blown out Clemson on the road a fortnight ago.
The Hurricanes – who lost in last year’s National Championship – opened the campaign with a commanding 45-6 road win over conference rivals Stanford.
They backed that up a week later with a 77-7 demolition of Florida A&M, before heading out on the road for another ACC road win, beating Wake Forest 33-20.
Miami made it four-in-a-row row with another non-conference rout at home, beating Central Michigan 52-3.
The Hurricanes then produced their most impressive performance to date, as they went 3-0 on the road in ACC action by dominating Clemson in a 41-13 victory.
