Florida State Opens As Three-Touchdown Underdog Against Rival Miami

This week, records can effectively be thrown out of the window. Whether you’re 1-6 or 7-0, past performances don’t really matter when Florida State and Miami clash on the field in their annual rivalry game. The Seminoles have won three straight in the series entering the week but the top-10 Hurricanes will be looking to deliver Mario Cristobal his first victory against FSU.

Obviously, Florida State hasn’t performed up to expectation this year but there will certainly be plenty of intensity and passion to derail Miami’s season. Whether that leads to a victory remains to be seen as the Seminoles have been doomed by their offense through seven games. On the flip side, the Hurricanes have the No. 1 total offense in the country.

Miami quarterback Cam Ward is a legitimate contender for the Heisman Trophy. Ward has thrown for 300+ yards and scored at least three total touchdowns in all seven games for the Hurricanes. On the season, he’s completed 169/246 passes (68.7%) for 2,538 yards with 24 touchdowns to five interceptions while rushing 35 times for 190 yards and three more scores. He’s been one of the most electric players in the country.

Considering the difference in success on the field, the Hurricanes are expected to run over the Seminoles on Saturday night. According to early lines from DraftKings, Florida State is a +21-point underdog at Miami. The over/under is set at 54.5 points. FSU also trails +1200 to -2400 on the Moneyline.

There’s no doubt about it, FSU will have to score to have a chance to extend its winning streak over Miami. The Hurricanes have scored 38 or more points in every game while the Seminoles have yet to put over 21 on the board this season.

Miami has the No. 2 scoring offense (48.3 PPG) in college football compared to the No. 132 scoring offense for Florida State (15.0). The Hurricanes have scored four times as many touchdowns as the Seminoles (44-11).

Looking back into history, Florida State trails 35-33 in the all-time series and has been defeated by Miami by 21+ points eight times (1951, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1976, 1988, 2001, 2020). The Seminoles have beaten the Hurricanes by 21+ points ten times (1963, 1970, 1972, 1974, 1985, 1995, 1997, 2010, 2013, 2022).

Florida State and Miami will kick off at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 26. The game will be televised on ESPN.

Former Titans GM mock Miami right tackle to the Cleveland Browns at 6

Former Titans GM mock Miami right tackle to the Cleveland Browns at 6

The Cleveland Browns traded for an extended right tackle, former Houston Texan Tytus Howard, at the start of free agency as they began their rebuild of the offensive line that was awful in 2025. But Howard has played every position on the offensive line except for center, so if it’s all about getting your best five on the field, which it should be, there’s a chance Howard doesn’t play at right tackle in 2026.

While doing a mock draft on Peter Schrager’s podcast, former Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon had the Browns drafting Miami (FL) right tackle sixth overall. He talked about the issue with Howard, but said Mauigoa could either take over the tackle spot or be a really good guard.

Carthon said he knows that Mauigoa would be one of their best five, whether it is at guard or tackle. Some will say that a guy who may be best at guard isn’t worth the sixth overall pick, and I have to disagree. You should draft the best football players, and Francis Mauigoa is my highest-rated offensive lineman and seventh overall. It might be at guard, but I have a good feeling that Mauigoa will find a home in the NFL as a high-quality offensive lineman.

Inventory drops for first time since 2023 as sales rebound across coastal Miami, beaches

Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.

The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.

In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.

On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.

Here’s a closer look at the market:

Miami Beach and the barrier islands

Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.

Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.

Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.

Coastal mainland

Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.

The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.

The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
