🏈 CFB: Miami Team Total Over 20.5 in #1 Miami @ #11 Notre Dame
📝 Pick Preview: Losing a star wideout in practice has caused everyone to forget that Mario Cristobal brings the most explosive, balanced offense in college football into South Bend. Backing the Hurricanes to clear three touchdowns and a field goal is also a bet on this undefeated road underdog staying right in the fight for all four quarters, especially since this unit hasn't scored fewer than 33 points in a single game all season. Miami leads the nation at 47.6 points per game and sits first in OFEI offensive efficiency at .92 behind Heisman frontrunner Darian Mensah, who has completed 80.7% of his passes for 2,425 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just one interception. Even with Malachi Toney sidelined by an ankle injury, Mensah can lean heavily on Cooper Barkate—his go-to receiver at Duke last season who already has 28 catches for 372 yards and four scores—alongside tight end Elijah Lofton and the physical rushing duo of Mark Fletcher Jr. and Javian Mallory. They are attacking a Notre Dame defense that is missing four starters, including linebacker Drayk Bowen, safety Brauntae Johnson, cornerback DJ McKinney, and defensive lineman Jason Onye. The last time the Irish played without Bowen, McKinney, and Onye finishing the game, they surrendered 28 points in a 28-24 loss at BYU where Bear Bachmeier completed 72% of his first-half throws. With calm four-mile-per-hour winds in the forecast and Miami riding a 7-1 Over run this fall, Mensah will have clean pockets and plenty of answers against a patched-up secondary. Expect Fletcher and Mallory to punish the depleted Irish front early before Mensah and Barkate connect on a pair of second-half scoring drives to push the Hurricanes into the high twenties.
