North Florida Ospreys vs Miami Hurricanes prediction

The North Florida Ospreys have played FSU, Georgia, Iowa and LSU, but they run out of gas against quality opponents. The Miami Hurricanes could have a look ahead spot with Clemson on deck, but they’ve also beaten the snot out of the teams this season they’re supposed to beat up on. Miami is consistently scoring 80 plus points, and it’s hard for a lot of clubs to keep up. North Florida doesn’t shoot the ball well enough to hang in this game. Give me the Canes in a home beat down.
