***OPENING NIGHT BEATDOWN*** WILL'S 10* CFB "COACH'S CORNER"
(NCAAF) Florida vs. Miami-FL,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 Miami-FL (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: Outright upset? It's not out of the realm of possibility at all in my opinion. After finishing 4-17 in 2017, the Gators went 10-3 in Dan Mullen's first year as head coach. That included a win over Michigan in the Peach Bowl. While QB Feleipe Franks is back under center for Florida, the big question mark for the Gators (and I think it's significant in Week 1), is that there are four new starters on the offensive line.

The pick: Miami was just 7-6 last year. Manny Diaz is now the head coach for the Hurricanes and he went out and grabbed a top play-caller in Dan Enos. Jarren Williams beat out N'Kosi Perry and Tate Martell for the starting QB position for the home side. Williams had two of the ACC's top receivers in Coral Gables and buffalo transfer KJ Osborn. The uncertain up front for Florida makes the Hurricanes the correct call in Week 1 in my opinion. Grab the points.
