Miami vs. Texas A&M College Football Playoff Odds
Texas A&M finished the season with an 11-1 record, with their lone loss coming against Texas. Their victory on the road against Notre Dame in Week 3 carried some significant weight, and they also produced ranked matchups against LSU and Missouri. Marcel Reed is a true dual-threat quarterback who has had some ups-and-downs, but his ability with his legs really pops.
Miami started the season hot with wins over Notre Dame, South Florida, and Florida to climb to No. 2 in the AP Poll. Their playoff outlook slipped with losses to Louisville and SMU. But the Hurricanes were able to finish the season with four straight dominant wins over Syracuse, NC State, Virginia Tech, and Pittsburgh to earn the at-large bid. Carson Beck stands in at quarterback and has battled some turnover issues this season, but two National Championships to his name already from his time back at Georgia.
This game will take place on Saturday, December 20th, in a noon kickoff taking place at Texas A&M.
Looking at the futures market, Texas A&M has the sixth-best odds of winning the College Football Playoffs at +1800 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Miami is not far behind at +2800 odds.
