Florida State at SMU picks and predictions
Prediction
SMU 27, Florida State 10
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Mustangs (-225) to take down a struggling Seminoles team Saturday.
Against the spread
BET SMU -6.5 (-105).
Florida State has been unimpressive this season, scoring 14 or fewer points in each of its last 3 games while allowing 20 or more points in 3 of its 4 games. The SMU defense accounted for 3 TDs last week and will be the difference makers on Saturday. SMU has scored 59 or more points in 2 of its last 3 games, which will prove to be too much for the Seminoles.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).
While SMU is capable of scoring in droves, the Florida State offense will not be able to carry its fair share of the total. It has hit the Under in each of its 4 games this season while scoring 21 or fewer points in each game. Going against a SMU defense that has allowed 18 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3 games, the Under provides the best value.
