Miami Hurricanes vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons Prediction

Miami has dropped two of three with their lone win coming over a beat up Pittsburgh team. Their road record isn’t very impressive when you consider that their two wins came against the aforementioned Pitt team and a victory over North Florida in an unlined game. Their only game against a decent team they lost by 15 to Syracuse.
