Miami is scheduled to host Florida A&M at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in a 2026 Week 2 college football matchup.

The Hurricanes are 1–0 after opening the season with a win over Stanford. Quarterback Darian Mensah reportedly threw for 401 yards and five touchdowns in that game.

Florida A&M is 1–1 after losing 31–13 to South Carolina State in the Orange Blossom Classic. The Rattlers finished fourth in the SWAC last season with a 5–7 overall record.

Miami is listed as a 56.5-point favourite, with the total set at 62.5 points. The figures are current betting lines and may change.

SportsLine analyst Tom Fornelli recommends the under at 62.5 points. The recommendation is an attributed betting opinion, rather than a prediction of the final score.

Miami finished 13–3 overall and second in the ACC in 2025, but lost 27–21 to Indiana in the national championship game.
