Both Ricky Williams and Nick Saban worked out a few kinks on Monday night and that'll give them an advantage in their second game. Both can relax now that the first one is under their belts and they'll be sharper this week. Saban showed a desire to win on Monday night and I think he'll try hard to avoid losing his first two straight. This is another team in need of anything to boost their confidence. A win, even in the preseason, means a lot to a new coach and a team that's doubting themselves after a season from hell. They'll be feeling a little extra pressure to win after dropping their first and they'll play hard in this one. A QB controversy remains on this club so both AJ Feely and Gus Frerotte will again be playing to impress. Ricky Williams as we know also has something to prove. One star on the dog with higher motivation. Miami +3.5 for one star.
