NC Game Miami 1H

[Bateman]

In today’s CFB, people underestimate how much physicality matters, especially when teams are playing all out. Both IU and Miami have gotten here because they are very tough and hit opponents in the mouth from the 1st snap of the game. IU may be the better team overall, but Miami should be right in the game for the 1H minimum. I don’t trust Carson Beck so I don’t have an opinion on the full game now. But I think the 1H is a great opportunity to take advantage of this angle. I honestly believe Miami will hit IU harder. That will be different for IU early.

Fwiw - I have the 1H +4.5 -120 and sprinkled some on the Ml +180. I don’t have any play on the full game because IU is clearly the superior team. In fact, I believe IU covers more often than not.

I also have the 1H Under 23.5 fairly big too. Miami is going to try very hard to establish the run and slow this down. I think they should have some success in the first half. Ultimately, IU wears them down. Good luck to everyone.

I like your thinking. So far I have Miami +3 first qtr.
Kinda pissed I missed the 4.5 for the first half

Well, they definitely hit Mendoza very hard in the mouth like I mentioned. Lucky they didn’t get called for it. Penalties like that will kill them
