Florida Gators vs. Miami Hurricanes Prediction
I’m on Miami here. DJ Lagway really looked awful against LSU as he just kept throwing INT after INT, and now has to go on the road again for another big time matchup against a Miami team that’s looking to get to the playoff on behalf of the ACC and now has the driver’s seat in my opinion for the conference. Florida’s in some hot water as far as I’m concerned, and it’s going to continue to get hotter here. Give me Miami.
