Miami Hurricanes open as huge favorites over Central Michigan Chippewas in Week 4
Another massive line in favor of YOUR Miami Hurricanes
As the Miami Hurricanes prepare for their Week 4 home game against the Central Michigan Chippewas, FanDuel Sportsbook has released their odds. Per @FanDuelSports, Miami opens as a 41.5-point favorite over the Central Michigan Chippewas. The game kicks off as a non-conference matchup in Miami.
Miami is currently considered a national championship contender, thanks to their talented roster and explosive offense led by star quarterback Darian Mensah and wide receiver Malachi Toney. However, the team is dealing with a significant number of injuries. Quarterback Mensah, running backs Mark Fletcher Jr. and Marty Brown, wide receiver Toney, tight end Elija Lofton, defensive tackle Ahmad Moten Sr., and linebacker Mo Toure all left the game injured against Wake Forest.
Additionally, tight end Luka Gilbert is out for the year, and three of Miami's top five cornerbacks—Ja'Boree Antoine, O.J. Frederique, and Xavier Lucas—are either out for at least a month (Antoine and Lucas) or indefinitely (Frederique).
Against Central Michigan, one of the weaker teams in FBS football, Miami should have the opportunity to run up the score and rest their starters. However, to cover the substantial 41.5-point spread, Miami will need to perform well early on the game. After only managing a 13-point victory in their previous game, Miami will be eager to dominate the Central Michigan Chippewas, provide rest for key players, and address any issues before facing other ACC teams.
