Miami open as road favorite in massive Florida clash

In 115 days the Miami football season will kick off against at Florida in the Swamp. After 11 games and a pair of byes. Many months before the rivalry is renewed, we have a point spread on the game and it’s quite surprising. 

Miami is a two and a half-point favourite against Florida. 

Yes, you read that correctly. Among the dozens of early college football point spreads produced by DraftKings, Miami is featured to come into the Swamp as the favourite. 

They’ll meet on Aug. 31 in Gainesville, Florida. The Hurricanes are already favorite in that colossal matchup between two teams.

This game is going to be huge. There is no love lost between the Canes and the Gators.

Also, both head coaches come into the game with a fanbase unsure whether to get fully behind them and their programs or if it’s time to move on. Whichever coach loses this game might have more of the latter after all is said and done on August 31. Both coaches are trying to sell hope and prove their programs are heading in the right direction in year three. Good luck selling that with a loss to a bitter rival to open the season. This game is a huge tone-setter for Mario Cristobal and the 2024 season as a whole.

August 31st lets chomp on some Gator.
