The 18th-ranked Miami-FL Hurricanes had won five straight before getting humiliated in a 62-26 loss to North Carolina in their regular-season finale. "Our kids have a bad taste in our mouths after that game," Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz said.

The Hurricanes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points and I expect Miami to show up for the Cheez-It Bowl matchup with the #21 Oklahoma State Cowboys extremely motivated.

The Cowboys closed out the regular season with a 42-3 rout of Baylor. They did so without star running back Chuba Hubbard who has opted to skip the rest of the season to prepare for the NFL draft, but they certainly could have used him in this one.

Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Hurricanes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

10* play on Miami-FL Hurricanes.
