I'm admittedly a bad CF bettor.....

..........having said that . Why is Miami a 2.5 favorite over OM ? What am I missing here ?

It's almost a pick em. Miami is better on both lines than anyone left in the playoff. Can their D line keep Chambliss in check? Vegas seems to think they can. They will be able to run the ball better against OM than UGA. Either team could win.

The problem is the huge disparity at the most important position on the field.

Miami has former coaches, players, and alumni who love the program with all their hearts and are already analyzing and game planning for ole Miss. while the ole Miss staff are wearing lsu clothes

I know you are correct but in the NIL era I'm begining to wonder what really matters and what doesn't .

Miami doesn't have enough offense to beat Ole Miss. Yes, their D is good but Ole Miss will score on them. Just not sure how much Miami can score on Ole Miss.

Have you seen the SEC vs non conference teams lately? Mississippi won’t whip Miami on both lines of scrimmage like they did Georgia. Miami defense is better than Georgia, but their offense is significantly worse. I think Mississippi wins but wouldn’t be surprised either way.

I’m not sure UGA’s O-Line is better than Miami’s. I certainly want Miami to win, so maybe I’m biased, but Cristobal typically puts out great O-Lines.

ETA: Between A&M, tOSU & OM, I think this will be the worst defense Miami’s faced in the playoff.

Kirby got out coached & OM wanted that game more. Miami won't make those same mistakes. Doesn't mean OM cant win but Miami's entire DL are all NFL prospects. They'll get pressure. How does Chambliss respond to it?

I’m not worried about Miami’s offensive line. It’s their skill positions plays and a god awful quarterback. Against teams with a pulse they’re right around 20 points per game. That’s not good.

May be good enough as Miami just breaks the will of good offenses. Look at their last 3 games.
3300 27 10 ain't too shabby

It’ll be interesting. I don’t think Miami has seen an offense as good as Mississippi and I don’t think Mississippi has seen a defense as good as Miami.

Iowa manhandled Vandy in a way that has me questioning the LOS in the sec. I don’t know when it happened, but sec has went finesse.

When I started seeing 48-45 SEC games a few years ago I knew this wasn’t the same SEC. And it’s been showing in the postseason the last couple of years.

Georgia defense is looking soft and Bama didn’t even belong in the playoffs. I think Miami will handle ole Miss.

Okie didn’t belong either. Notre Dame picked the wrong school to complain about being left out for.

Alabama is the fraud that was picked over ND. I don’t care wht anybody says, ND was a very good team at the end of the year. 3 loss Bama got exposed.
