The Hurricanes are 0-4 ATS in their last four Sunday games and 0-4-1 ATS in their last five at home. The under is 8-1 in Miami’s last nine on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Rattlers are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall and 2-7 ATS in their last nine Sunday games. The under is 11-3 in the Rattlers’ last 14 overall.
PICK: I’m probably going to stay with Miami in this one. The Hurricanes are going to need a bounce-back performance here, though. All went well in the first half against FAU on Tuesday with a 34-20 edge at the break but Miami struggled from there. The Hurricanes shot a tepid 36.0 percent from the floor and 2-of-10 (20 percent) from 3-point range. Miami should play better here and I like them well enough on a cover.
