Miami Football: Way too early 2021 game by game predictions
After their disappointing loss to North Carolina, Miami will need to bounce back quickly if the Hurricanes still want to have a chance to win the Coastal division. Miami played the Wolfpack last season and had to have a comeback victory to get the win in Raleigh. Quarterback D’Eriq King was terrific in the comeback effort and wide receiver Mike Harley Jr stepped up big as well.
NC State will be looking to continue its success from last season and there could be some reason for optimism in Raleigh, as quarterback Devin Leary will be back after suffering a season ending injury in 2020.
Miami tends to drop a couple of games they are expected to win every year and I don’t have enough believe in Manny Diaz right now to say that the trend will stop. I think the Wolfpack will pull the upset in Miami.
Final Score: Miami 27, NC State 30 (4-3, 1-2 ACC)
Oct 30. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Pitt (PA). Pittsburgh Panthers. 8. 866
This will be an important game for Miami to win after dropping two straight ACC games. Pitt has been a tough place to play for the Hurricanes in the past and 2021 will be no different. Pitt is losing a lot of key defenders in the secondary and on the defensive line and that will tough to replace. The big news for the Panthers is that quarterback Kenny Pickett is back for what seems like his 10th season and he has improved in each season.
This is a game that could go either way. I think that the talent that the Panthers lost on defense will give Miami the edge here and get their third straight win over Pittsburgh due to a big game from D’Eriq King.
Final Score: Miami 38, Pitt 24 (5-3, 2-2 ACC)
