Miami is headed to the Fiesta Bowl and awaits the winner of the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Ole Miss. The Hurricanes’ next College Football Playoff clash will take place on January 8, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
Heavy Sports will have the official opening odds as soon as they are released when the contest is set, but sportsbooks already released look-ahead point spreads for both of Miami’s potential matchups ahead of the College Football Playoff.
Georgia is a heavy favorite against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl clash. If Miami faces Georgia, the Dawgs would be a 3.5-point favorite based on the early odds projections, per DraftKings. The over-under is estimated to be 43.5 points for this potential Fiesta Bowl matchup.
If Ole Miss pulls the upset over Georgia, Miami is projected to be a 1.5-point favorite over the Rebels, per DraftKings. The over-under would be 51.5 points.
It is important to note that these odds were set prior to the start of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. Miami’s impressive performance against Ohio State may push the odds a little more in favor of the Canes.
Here’s what you need to know about Miami’s upcoming Fiesta Bowl matchup.
Carson Beck Could Face Former Georgia Team in Fiesta Bowl
If Georgia is able to take care of business against Ole Miss, Miami quarterback Carson Beck would face his former team. Back in January 2025, Beck pulled a surprise by transferring to Miami instead of entering the NFL draft.
“Everything has a shelf life, and I think the shelf life there (at Georgia) was over, and it was just time to start something new, to get into a new program, to start a new chapter of my life, my career,” Beck said in July when discussing his decision to transfer from Georgia to Miami, per Yahoo Sports. “I think the biggest thing for me, obviously, was the offensive fit.
“As a quarterback, the OC, the scheme, the talent and guys that you’re going to have around you is huge to the success and ultimately, the future A, of a quarterback, but of me. This is my future and I think this decision is one of the better decisions I’ve made.
