Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Doak Campbell Stadium, with the rivalry airing nationally on ABC.
  • Miami enters as the betting favorite at roughly -4.5 on major books, with a listed moneyline of about -192 and a total near 53.5.
  • Florida State leads the FBS at roughly 600 yards and 53 points per game, while Miami’s defense ranks among the nation’s best, allowing 11.5 points per game and just 76.3 rushing yards.
  • Quarterbacks Carson Beck (Miami) and Tommy Castellanos (FSU) are under the microscope after each threw three interceptions over their past two games.
  • Despite ESPN’s College GameDay selecting another site, FSU reports a sellout and secondary-market prices start around $313, reflecting strong demand and recruiting interest for a game with state and ACC implications.
