Miami couldn’t have looked sharper or more explosive in a 45-6 win over Stanford to open the season. Everything clicked, the stars came out to play, and it was over in a hiccup. Now the Hurricanes fly the 3,000 miles back home to deal with a Florida A&M team that toughed out a 20-7 win over Albany State.

– CFN Expert Picks: Week 2
Why Florida A&M Will Win
The Rattlers have a decent offense that can normally run a little bit, but their real positive recently has been not screwing up. They don’t turn the ball over, and they don’t give teams too many easy chances.
Against Albany State, the defense attacked with seven tackles for loss, holding the Golden Rams to less than a yard per carry.
Why Miami Will Win
The Hurricanes will dominate on the lines right away.
Florida A&M’s defensive front was great against Albany State, but that’s about to end. The Rattler attack that, again, should be solid this season, had a hard time getting its own running game working. Miami gave up one decent run to Stanford, and that was it.

Miami vs Florida A&M Prediction, Betting Lines
Oh yeah, the stars. Darian Mensah threw for over 400 yards with five scores against the Cardinal, and Malachi Toney set a school record with 234 receiving yards and three scores on 12 catches. But the ground game didn’t do too much. The Canes will run 50 times.
