Miami FL at California Preview & Picks

Miami FL are backed to cover the spread despite this cross-country trip.

Hurricanes QB Cam Ward has been lighting up opponents, and California do not have the firepower to keep pace with the visitors.

  • Miami FL are 5-0 so far this season
  • Miami FL are 2-0-0 ATS on the road in 2024
  • California are 0-1-0 ATS in conference play this season
  • The Over has cashed in 4 of Miami FL’s first 5 games (1 push)

Head To Head

  • California lead the all-time series 2-0
  • California won 24-17 when the two teams last met in December 2008

Miami FL Form

Miami FL head to the West Coast having survived a scare last week to improve their perfect record to 5-0.

The Hurricanes made a statement in their season opener as they travelled to ‘The Swamp’ and blew out Florida in a 41-17 victory.

They backed that up in their home opener a week later, beating Florida A&M 56-9, before shutting out Ball State in a 6-2 victory.

Miami FL then took their record to 4-0 a week later, beating South Florida 50-15 to set themselves up for their conference opener.

The Hurricanes trailed for much of the game, but a fourth-quarter rally was enough for them to snatch a 38-34 against Virginia Tech.

California Form

California enter this matchup with a 3-1 record, having lost their ACC debut two weeks ago.

The Golden Bears moved over from the Pac-12 in the offseason and warmed up for their conference schedule with three consecutive wins.

They opened the season with a 31-13 victory over California Davis, before heading out on the road to down Auburn 21-14.

California then made it to 3-0 when they beat San Diego State, 31-10, but they were unable to improve to 4-0 a fortnight ago.

The Golden Bears visited Florida State for their first ever ACC outing, and they returned home empty-handed as they were beaten 14-9 by the Seminoles.
