2026 VRBO FIESTA BOWL
MIAMI vs. OLE MISS (MIA -3.5, 52.5)
FREE PICK: 1Q UNDER 10.5
The Miami Hurricanes defense is on absolute fire. Defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman has his unit playing at a high level. Since the loss to SMU, the Hurricanes have allowed 10, 7, 17, 7, 3, and 14 points. That's an average of 9.7 points per game.
Over those six games, Miami shut out five of the opponents in the first quarter. Combined, the 'Canes defense gave up a total of 3 first-quarter points over those six games.
Tonight, it's going to take Ole Miss some time to figure out how to attack Miami. The Rebels offensive staff surely has a plan of attack in mind, but it's going to take a few series to really dial into how Ole Miss can move the football on what could be the best defense in the country.
The 1Q Under has cashed in 8 straight Miami games. Tonight, with a slower-paced opening quarter, will make it 9.
