Bethune-Cookman has recently been an issue for its fans and supporters; their scoreboards have seen totals go over four of their five outings over recent weeks. A staggering statistic that cannot be overlooked is Bethune-Cookman’s dismal 0-10 straight-up record over their past ten games; furthermore, they’ve lost all six meetings against Miami over this span – as well as 12 road losses without covering spread in four of those encounters against teams from Atlantic Coast conferences.
Miami has experienced mixed fortunes. While they’ve struggled against the spread, only covering 3 of 13 games this season in totals, they and their opponents have combined to go OVER in 4 of their last 5 matches at home. However, in terms of covering the spread, they had difficulty covering with only a 2-6 ATS record during the last eight home matches (6-0 against Wildcats, though. September seems particularly promising for them, with 14-6 SU records played within this month.
