Miami Hurricanes vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/13/26

Miami enters this ACC matchup playing its best basketball of the season and has clearly proven it can be trusted away from home. The Hurricanes are undefeated straight up when favored (8-0 SU) and have shown poise in hostile environments, highlighted by recent road wins that showcased their depth and offensive versatility. Miami averages over 80 points per game, spreading the floor with multiple scoring threats and consistently winning the efficiency battle. Their ability to generate offense both in transition and the half court has made them difficult to defend, especially late in games. Miami’s guard play has been a major advantage, allowing them to control tempo and close games with confidence, a key factor when laying a modest road number.

Notre Dame comes in with a competitive profile but has struggled to pull off outright upsets, sitting just 2-5 straight up as an underdog, despite being respectable against the spread. The Irish are capable offensively and can hang around with shooting and ball movement, but consistency has been an issue, particularly when facing teams with superior athleticism and scoring depth. That gap has shown up in recent meetings with Miami, as the Hurricanes have won the last 4 head to head matchups, consistently finding ways to separate in the second half. While Notre Dame may keep things close early, Miami’s firepower, road reliability, and closing ability give them a clear edge as the game wears on.
