Miami FL at Florida Preview & Picks

Miami FL are tipped to open the season with a victory at their state rivals.

Expectations are high in Coral Gables after some impressive offseason additions, and they can make an early statement in ‘The Swamp’.

  • Miami FL are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 road games
  • Miami FL started last season with a 4-game win streak
  • Florida are 2-6 in their previous 8 games
  • The Over has cashed in 7 of Miami FL’s last 10 games

Head To Head

  • Miami FL lead the all-time series 29-27
  • Florida Gators won 24-20 when the two teams last met in August 2019

Miami FL Form

Miami FL enter their first game of the campaign looking to live up to some big pre-season expectations.

The Hurricanes started fast but fell away during the 2023 season, but after some big offseason recruitment many experts are predicting they challenge for a College Football Playoff place.

That would be in stark contrast to last time around, when they started 0-4 but lost five of their final eight regular season games.

Miami FL’s highlights were a 48-33 victory over ranked Texas A&M and a 28-20 success against Clemson, while the low point was an infamous loss to Georgia Tech.

The Hurricanes wrapped up the campaign by taking part in the Pinstripe Bowl, where they lost 31-24 to Rutgers.

Florida Form

Florida come into the 2024 season looking to improve on a 5-7 campaign that saw them miss out on a Bowl Game.

The Gators dropped their season opener in 2023, but enjoyed a run of five wins in six games that propelled them into the rankings for a few weeks.

The highlight of that sequence was a 29-16 upset of #11 ranked Tennessee in the middle of September.

Florida’s last win during that sequence was a 41-39 victory at South Carolina, which was followed by five straight wins.

The Gators faced ranked teams in four of those games – a run that included a 43-20 defeat to #1 Georgia and a 24-15 loss to #5 Florida State.
