Indiana vs. Miami picks, predictions
The Sporting News' Bill Bender recently offered his prediction for Indiana vs. Miami.
Miami allowed a season-high 27 points in the semifinal victory against Ole Miss, but the defense must create a few turnovers for Cristobal's formula to work here. The margin for error is slim, and Beck will have to be at his best for Miami to pull an upset as the underdog here. Will the Hard Rock Stadium environment favor Miami close to home? It might not matter. Cignetti has Indiana operating at a historic level, and after a tight first half the Hoosiers will pull away behind Mendoza. A late turnover leads to the game-clinching TD run by Hemby, and Indiana – that's right – is the second national champion of the 12-team CFP era.
PICK: Indiana 31, Miami 19
