South Florida vs. Miami, 11/17/2012 15:00 EDT, Score: 9 - 40

Point Spread: +6½/-110 South Florida

Sportsbook: TopBet

Result: Loss

Heading into this game the Bulls arrive with both the better offense and the stingier defense as they take on a Miami team that is in serious need of playmakers. Yes, the Canes are riding a 4-0 ATS streak into this non-conference clash and can claim the ACC Coastal with a win at Duke next Saturday. But the combination of a look-ahead and lousy defense is a bad pairing for a substantial 7-point favorite. South Florida is rested and playing with revenge and Holtz improves to a whooping 16-1 ATS in his career as a dog against .500 or less opposition here on Saturday afternoon.
