Two Top-25 teams take the field on Tuesday night in Orlando when No. 24 Wisconsin battles No. 14 Miami in the Champs Sports Bowl (8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN). The home crowd edge definitely figures to be with the Hurricanes as they try and win 10 games for the first time since 2003.
Miami is a 3.5 point favorite at SBG Global and the total for the game is set at 58.5.
Wisconsin and Miami are both 9-3 but they got their by different routes. The Badgers run the ball with Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year John Clay while the Hurricanes throw the ball with exciting sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris.
This will be the fourth all-time meeting between Wisconsin and Miami with the Hurricanes winning two of the three. The teams have not met since 1989 when Miami won 51-3.
Miami will be looking to spread the field with Harris, who threw for 3,164 yards and 23 touchdowns this season. He did make mistakes though, throwing 17 interceptions. Miami can also run the ball – the Canes averaged 144.4 yards per game on the ground led by RB Graig Cooper.
The Hurricanes on defense are strong as well, particularly against the run – they allowed only 118.3 yards per game this college football betting season.
The Miami defense will be tested by the Wisconsin running game that averaged 206.7 yards per game. John Clay had 1,396 yards and 16 TDs this year.
Wisconsin doesn’t throw as much as Miami but quarterback Scott Tolzien was solid, throwing 16 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions. Wideout Nick Toon had 52 catches for 779 yards.
The Wisconsin defense did struggle against the pass this season and that could be a problem against Miami.
