Florida State – Page 11 – Syndication Server

The FSU quarterback might not be throwing it all over the yard, but he’s running well, and the ground attack overall hasn’t been bad. It’s averaging close to five yards per carry, and it was rolling over the previous few weeks before stalling against the Pitt defensive front.

If Travis could get the O going, this would be the week against the horrible NC State pass defense that got ripped apart by Miami’s D’Eriq King last week and hasn’t done much of anything over the last month.

NC State has the ACC’s worst defense – allowing 472 yards per game – but …

– CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why NC State Will Win

Florida State doesn’t have the ability to take advantage of the easier D to go against.

The Noles don’t have any sort of a downfield passing game, they have the least efficient air attack in the ACC, and it’s all hamstrung by a team that’s getting destroyed by penalties in game after game, sinning an ACC-high 9.7 times per game.

Yes, the Wolfpack defense has been a disaster, but overall the team has been able to get by the okay-to-bad teams, and couldn’t beat Virginia Tech or North Carolina on the road or Miami last week at home.

Florida State is an okay-to-bad team.

– CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

So how’s your week going?

Florida State lost its star DT Marvin Wilson for the year, QB James Blackman is opting out, OT Devontay Love-Taylor is done for the season, and top WR Tamorrion Terry is no longer with the team.

NC State doesn’t do anything particularly well, but it’s finding ways to win games. The Wolfpack defense will keep Florida State in the game, but the offense will be just methodical enough to get through with the win on a good day through the air.

NC State will take advantage of its opportunities. FSU won’t.

Florida State (2-4) vs Pitt (3-4) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM

Why Pitt Will Win

Florida State’s defense continues to be just okay.

The offense is starting to play a little bit better, but the D has allowed well over 550 yards a game in each of the last three, getting destroyed on the ground by Notre Dame and through the air against North Carolina. But against Pitt, if you can’t stop the pass rush, forget it.

The Seminole offensive line has been better than past years, but it’s still a major problem and it’s still allowing too many plays behind the line. The Pitt defensive front continues to be a killer, leading the nation in tackles for loss and remains second in sacks. However …

– CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Florida State Will Win

The Pitt offense has gone bye-bye without QB Kenny Pickett, who’s still iffy at best for this. The Panthers are on a four-game losing streak with no running game whatsoever – they haven’t hit 100 yards in any of the last four games – and the passing attack isn’t making up for it.

On the flip side, the FSU offense has been a whole lot stronger over the last four games. The all-around playmaking ability of QB Jordan Travis has been a big help, the running game is now averaging close to 200 yards per game, but …

– CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

No one’s running on Pitt. The Panthers have allowed more than 100 yards on the ground three times and haven’t given up more than 115 yards to anyone so far. Travis will pass well, but the Pitt pass rush will take over as the game goes on.

The struggling Pitt offense will do just enough to get by – Pickett is still a possibility to go – and the defense will take care of the rest.

Why Florida State Will Win

Now was that so hard?

Florida State got the running game rolling against a real team – cranking out 241 yards in the win over North Carolina – and the defense was able to hold on late.

The offensive line that’s been such a problem over the last several years and the first part of the season still isn’t great, but at least it’s not a complete disaster anymore. On the flip side, the Louisville offensive front is among the worst in the nation at keeping defenses out of the backfield.

The Cardinal offense is starting to sputter, there are too many giveaways, and the D isn’t taking the ball away like it needs to. However …

– CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Louisville Will Win

Louisville has a … defense?

It’s one of the strangest parts of the the ACC season so far. The Cardinal offense is just okay, but the defense is among the best in the conference. It’s not exactly a brick wall, but outside of the problems in the loss to Miami, it’s been able to hold up well enough to get by.

Florida State might have been able to pull off the shocker against North Carolina, and it might have been decent against Notre Dame, but there’s no pass rush, the secondary isn’t good enough, and there are way too many penalties and little mistakes.

– CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

All of a sudden, FSU appears to have a different look and feel with Jordan Travis at quarterback. James Blackman wasn’t the problem, but he doesn’t move, and Travis does – that’s why the Seminole offensive line all of a sudden doesn’t look so awful.

But Louisville is finally back at home.

The Cardinals had a three-game road trip that didn’t exactly go well, but watch for the offense to perk up just a little bit after a rough run. The secondary will come through when needed more often than FSU’s will.

North Carolina (3-0) vs Florida State (1-3) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM

Why North Carolina Will Win

The Tar Heels have their timing down offensively.

It took three quarters in the opener against Syracuse to get going, it sputtered against Boston College, and then it kicked it all in against Virginia Tech in a 56-45 win.

Sam Howell and the passing game are working just fine, the ground game is the second-best in the conference, and the Tar Heels lead the ACC in total offense.

And there’s Florida State.

The offense is sputtering, scoring is like pulling teeth, and worst of all in this game, there’s nothing coming from the defensive front in the backfield. Give Howell time to work, and let the big Tar Heel receivers work their way down the field, and there’s a problem.

– CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Florida State Will Win

The talent is there.

The starting 22 is still good enough to be more than just competitive, but nothing is clicking. It’s been such a dismal year that it might be a case of simply needing something positive to kick it all in.

The offense hasn’t been consistent, but it’s cranking out first downs, and Jordan Travis is playing like a potential keeper after two decent games against Jacksonville State and Notre Dame – he’s fine after hurting his hand against the Irish.

North Carolina is better, but it shoots itself in the foot way too often. There are too many penalties, no takeaways – just one on the year – and there aren’t enough plays in the backfield.

– CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

Things would be far different if Sam Howell stayed with his original commitment to Florida State and wasn’t stolen away by Mack Brown and UNC.

FSU will be charged up overall. It’ll come up with a spirited effort and keep this close for a half, but just when it looks like it might pull this off, Howell and the UNC offense will come through with a few good scoring drives to take over.
