Rivalry Week Preview: Trap Game in Pittsburgh?

Written by Carter Ball

12 Miami at 22 Pittsburgh

If Miami wants ANY hope of competing in either an ACC or CFP championship game, the Hurricanes absolutely need to destroy Pitt. After the downfall of FSU and losses against Louisville and SMU, the Canes are in desperate need of another quality win. However, this game could get tricky. With a 4-9 record in the month of November while at UM, combined with his struggles against ranked teams, Miami HC Mario Cristobal is in need of a statement victory on the road. This will be one of just two games the Canes play that is not in the state of Florida, and the weather could play a factor, but ultimately, the Hurricanes will simply be too much for Pitt. Despite the Panthers' momentum following an upset win over Georgia Tech, the Hurricanes will win this game.

Writer’s Prediction: 35-10 Miami Victory
