Seven for seven when favored

Miami finished the 2025 regular season 7-6 and 8-5 against the spread. Every favored game was a win and a cover, from 38-0 over Lindenwood at -22.5 to 26-17 over Western Michigan at -2.5. No FBS team covered a higher share as a favorite; six others also covered every time. One unit on the RedHawks in those seven games returned 2.61, and six FBS teams made more as favorites.

Zero for six as the underdog

Miami lost all six games as an underdog and covered once, 17-0 at Wisconsin at +18.5 in the opener. Only five of the 131 FBS teams with underdog games covered less often in that role. The moneyline on those six lost 6.00, which is why the full season finished 3.39 units down despite the 7-0.

August and September went 1-3, the three losses all as underdogs. October went 4-0 with four covers, favored every week.

Western Michigan, twice
