Last season, the Miami Hurricanes fell just short of their projected win total from Las Vegas.
In both 2022 and 2023, the sportsbooks had set Miami’s over/under at 7.5 wins. They fell short, only managing five victories in ’22 and seven wins in ’23.
For the upcoming 2024 football season, the bar has been set considerably higher. According to Fanduel, the Hurricanes’ over/under will be set at 9.5 wins next season. In other words, if you bet on the over, Miami would need to win ten or more games for you to cash in your ticket.
The Hurricanes are in a three way tie for the highest win total in the ACC. Clemson and Florida State are also tabbed at +/- 9.5. Louisville, NC State, and North Carolina check in at +/- 8.5.
Those odds reveal that handicappers consider Miami a legitimate contender to win the conference. Expectations have risen thanks in part to the addition of top transfer quarterback Cam Ward. Other standouts like defensive end Rueben Bain, receiver Xavier Restrepo and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa can also play starring roles in a successful season.
