The No. 7 Miami Hurricanes (10-1, 6-1 ACC) visit the Syracuse Orange (8-3, 4-3) Saturday. Kickoff from the JMA Wireless Dome is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at Miami vs. Syracuse odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Miami controls its destiny to clinch a berth in the ACC Championship Game against 9th-ranked SMU in the regular-season finale for both schools.
The Hurricanes’ 42-14 shellacking of visiting Wake Forest Saturday gave them a smidge of solace following their first defeat of the season 2 weeks prior — a disastrous 28-23 stumble at Georgia Tech. After having to think about that loss during a bye week, QB Cam Ward led the ‘Canes with 280 passing yards and 3 TDs (2 passing, 1 rushing). Miami covered as a 23.5-point favorite and the Under (66.5) cashed.
Syracuse carries a 2-game win streak into this daunting assignment, following Saturday’s 31-24 home victory over UConn. QB Kyle McCord dominated with 470 passing yards and 3 TDs (2 passing, 1 rushing), but the Orange failed to cover as 10-point favorites with the Over (53) hitting.
Will Syracuse play spoiler — or at least give bettors some fun angles to target? Keep reading for an early snapshot of this under-the-radar Thanksgiving weekend matchup.

Miami vs. Syracuse head-to-head
Miami leads the all-time series 16-7. However, these 2 haven’t played since 2017 when the Hurricanes won 27-19 at home but didn’t cover as 17.5-point favorites.
Given the long gap since the last time these two met, Miami vs. Syracuse bettors shouldn’t put stock in past numbers.
