To stay competitive against Miami, the Knights must focus on controlling the time of possession. Rutgers will need to establish dominance on the ground and maintain long, sustained drives to set the tone for the game.
Quarterback question marks for the U. Miami will be going with third-string QB Jacurri Brown. He’s a redshirt freshman who did not attempt a pass this year.
While he possesses some game experience, it’s important to note that he’s relatively raw. However, he hasn’t started a game since Miami’s resounding loss to Clemson in 2022.
In Brown’s second career start, the Tigers seized a dominant 40-10 victory over the Hurricanes.

4* Free 2023 Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl NCAA Betting Prediction: Miami -2.5
Nice subplot in this one. The intriguing coaching matchup between Rutgers’ Greg Schiano and his former assistant, Mario Cristobal, makes for some interesting drama.
Rutgers has struggled in recent matchups, going 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 1-4 SU in their last 5 games. Additionally, they hold a 3-6 ATS record in their last 9 games against Miami.
The way to go on the moneyline is to take Miami. I expect them not only to grab the win win against Miami but also to cover the spread.
This game has me leaning towards Miami to cover at -2.5. Miami displayed a strong rushing game in their recent matchup with Maryland, and I anticipate that momentum carrying into this week’s game. My bet will be on Miami to cover the spread before the game begins.
I’m going with the over as my pick, considering the over/under line at 41.5. Thus far, games featuring Miami have averaged a combined score of 54.2 points, and I anticipate this game will go beyond 41.5.
In Miami-FL’s last 7 games, the OVER has hit 5 times. Similarly, in 4 of Miami-FL’s last 6 games as the favorite, the total has gone OVER. Rutgers also has seen the total go OVER in 4 of their last 6 games.
