AI Betting Picks

ODDS	AI BETTING PICKS
OVER/UNDER	Under 40.5
SPREAD/MONEYLINE	Rutgers Scarlet Knights -1.5

Both teams are facing some trouble with NCAAF injuries ahead of this matchup, and each program has also been hit hard by the transfer portal. This is not one of the biggest games on the NCAAF schedule, and it’s one that won’t feature much offense either. 

Look for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights to have some success on offense in this game, but they are going to go on some very long drives. Miami wants to score points, but they just don’t have the weapons to get that done anymore. 

This will be a tight game for four quarters, but eventually the Scarlet Knights will take control and win this game. Bet the under 40.5 total points as well as getting to 20 points is going to be a huge struggle for either team.

Pinstripe Bowl Betting Preview

Before you can really start to break down some Pinstripe Bowl betting picks to make, you are going to need to check out how each team has fared. 

Rutgers Looking to Run

This Rutgers roster is going to be a bit depleted in this game, but it’s not going to change how the Scarlet Knights want to play. Rutgers is averaging over 165 rushing yards per game, and they are going to keep the ball on the ground in this matchup. 

The Scarlet Knights are scoring just 22.8 points per game this season, and the offense really disappeared during the four-game losing streak. Rutgers is going to have to throw the ball at times in this game, but they will limit those opportunities. 

This team was solid on defense for much of the year, and that unit is catching a break in this game. Rutgers will have a size advantage in this one in the trenches and that is something to keep in mind. 

Hurricanes Have to Get Stops

The Miami Hurricanes were supposed to be near the top of the NCAAF standings in the ACC this season, but that just wasn’t the case. The Miami schedule was pretty difficult to end the year, and things started to fall apart a bit. 

Miami did average over 32 points per game this season, but they are not going to have all of their top weapons on the field in this game. The Hurricanes want to throw the football most of the time, but they will be looking for balance in this matchup. 

The defense for Miami really struggled against the top teams in the ACC, and it will be interesting to see how they respond in this game. Miami can’t afford to let Rutgers march the ball up and down the field, especially on the ground.
