National Championship Prediction

Historically, Hard Rock Stadium has been an under paradise in terms of the total.

According to Bet Labs, NFL games in the windiest months of November, December and January have fetched a record of 58-47-1 to the under since 2005. In that same time frame, college football totals in Hard Rock Stadium have fallen to 86-68-2 to the under.

With 20 years of data for the NFL and college football, the under has cashed at a 56% clip.

On the field, Miami and Indiana have been two of the fiercest defenses in the first half this season. Both programs rank top-five of all scoring defenses in the first two quarters of play.

Indiana has allowed 6.2 points to Miami’s 4.7 points in the first half of play.

The Hurricanes have been one of the slower starters in FBS, ranking 84th in first-quarter scoring. Miami has scored a total of three points in the first quarter in playoff games against Ole Miss, Ohio State and Texas A&M.

The under has been the early play in the betting market, moving the total from 48.5 to 47.

The best bet regarding the total is on the first-half under 23.5, backing two defenses that are top-five in points allowed, along with an often sluggish start for the Canes offense.
