Prediction for the Miami Hurricanes game vs. the Michigan State Spartans.

In an underrated Power Five matchup in Week 3, the Miami Hurricanes will host the Michigan State Spartans down in South Florida with big opportunities on the line.

For Miami, the Hurricanes have to win this game. Losing to Alabama in Atlanta is one thing, but falling at home to a rebuilding Spartans team is another animal. As for Michigan State, Mel Tucker has the Spartans at 2-0 in his second season in East Lansing. Not saying it could be a signature win for his program if they stun the Hurricanes, but it will absolutely be a huge step up for them.

Here are the betting odds and a score prediction for when the Hurricanes take on the Spartans.

This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 56.5 points. Clearly, the oddsmakers expect a close game between these two Power Five programs, but they give the edge to the hometown Hurricanes.

Miami vs Michigan State Prediction Week 3

The Hurricanes should be on upset alert in this one. Look for Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne to be the star of the game. He will prove to be the difference, as Miami fails to convert on its final drive shortly after Thorne throws the game-winning touchdown to get to 3-0.
