Miami suffered a disappointing loss to Georgia Tech last weekend, falling 28-23 in Atlanta. Still, the Hurricanes can reach the ACC Championship Game by winning their final two games, including Saturday against Wake Forest.

Miami had a bye week to get ready for its final two games against the Demon Deacons and Syracuse. The Hurricanes are currently ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings and are looking to finish the year strong.

The early betting line for the Miami vs. Wake Forest game is out and Miami is an overwhelming 22.5-point home favorite over the Demon Deacons, according to FanDuel. The over-under has been set at 65.5 points.

Miami still has work to do to secure an ACC championship game bid, but Vegas oddsmakers obviously feel confident in the Canes (9-1, 5-1 ACC) this weekend against Wake Forest (4-6, 2-4) which is still seeking bowl eligibility. Miami was riding high winning its first nine games of the regular season before being upset by Georgia Tech two weeks ago. That said, the Hurricanes are still looking up at both SMU (9-1, 6-0) and Clemson (8-2, 7-1), with neither of the three actually playing one another this season.

It has been a magical season for Cam Ward and Miami. Ward was one of the top Heisman candidates for much of the year. However, his chances were hurt by the Hurricanes falling at Georgia Tech.

Miami head coach Mario Cristobal was asked postgame about what he expects from Ward following the first loss of the two-time transfer’s Hurricanes career.

“I don’t think he changes,” Cristobal said. “He never has changed. … If the result of the game changes you, you never were what you said you were.

“I have 100% belief in him and everybody on the team. That’s the biggest point of emphasis. Again, it stinks. It absolutely stinks. But 100% belief in everyone, and we got to go back to work and get better.”

Ward, who previously starred at FCS Incarnate Word and then at the Pac-12’s Washington State, has flourished this season at Miami.

One of the most prized quarterbacks in the transfer portal this past offseason, Ward picked the Hurricanes and has followed through by piloting the top scoring offense in college football. Miami is averaging 45 points per game this year, the most in the FBS and 13.5 points per game more than the Hurricanes averaged in 2023.

Ward is second nationally with 349.4 passing yards per game. His 32 touchdown passes are by far the most of any quarterback this year. North Texas’ Chandler Morris is next with 26.
