Miami Hurricanes have lost 11 games SU as favorites since 2018, including six times under head coach Manny Diaz last season.

The next closest over that span is Purdue with eight.


The Canes are currently 14½ favorites over UAB tonight

UAB vs. Miami

The earliest opener had Miami as a 16-point favorite in this matchup, but most books opened the number at -14.5. Still, the spread has come down a tick, as most shops are now posting -14, even with 61% of bets landing on Miami.

As you may have been able to guess by the line’s move toward an unpopular side, sharps have been among the minority taking UAB.

Sports Insights Bet Signals — which track and record instances of market movement caused by sharp action — have been triggered four times on the Blazers, serving as confirmation that the slight reverse line movement has been a result of pro action.

Market update


8 p.m. ET: UAB (1-0) at Miami Florida (0-0)

UAB already enters this game with a win under their belt having just defeated Central Arkansas 45-35 last week. Meanwhile, this is the season opener for the Hurricanes.

This line opened with Miami listed as a 14-point home favorite. The public is all over the Hurricanes due to their name recognition, home favorite status and the buzz surrounding Houston transfer quarterback D'Eriq King making his Miami debut.

With two-thirds of bets laying the points, Miami ticked up to -15. That's when you saw some sharp UAB buyback hit the market, dropping the line back down to 14.5. Some books are even at 14.

Essentially, we are looking at a sharp line freeze on UAB plus the points. UAB also has notable contrarian value since they're only receiving a third of bets in what will be an incredibly heavily bet (and the only) college football game on Thursday night.

Public is all over Miami -15.5. There was a small sharp buyback on Under 55, but that has been cancelled out as the picture is pretty mixed now on the total from a sharp perspective.

Opened Miami -14 and reached -15.5 a couple of hours ago.

"Good two-way action on the spread, with the majority of parlays coming in on Miami. Some public players have bet a little bit on UAB moneyline. We have taken a little bit of sharp money on UAB first half +8. We will need Miami to win but not cover."

William Hill


One Nevada bettor placed $11,000 on Notre Dame -20 for a potential total payout of $21,000, which is tied for the biggest Week 2 college football wager taken thus far at William Hill.

Another Nevada bettor put down $11,000 on Army -20.5 against Louisiana-Monroe.


“For line movement, looks like Army’s on the prowl. It was as low as 19, and now it’s 22. Army already has a game under their belts with Middle Tennessee, and it was an impressive performance. There’s square and sharp money on Army, so that’s a side we’re keeping an eye on.”
