Louisiana at Florida State picks and predictions
Prediction
Florida State 41, Louisiana 10
Moneyline
Florida State (-2500) will cost you 25 times your potential return, or, in other words, a $100 bet will net you just $4 of profit. Even with a multi-team parlay, there is no value in playing the Seminoles.
PASS.
Against the spread
FLORIDA STATE -24 (-114) is a strong play at home as the Seminoles are finally starting to show some signs of life. In fact, FSU beginning to resemble the form which made it a national title contender decades ago.
That ship sailed this season with 3 straight losses from Oct. 1-15, but the Seminoles have covered 3 in a row, and 7 of the past 9 games overall, and they’ll do it again here.
Over/Under
UNDER 52 (-110) is worth playing lightly here.
The Under has cashed in 5 of the past 7 games overall for Louisiana while going 11-4 in the past 15 games in November dating back to last season. The Under is also 4-1 in the past 5 games against winning teams, too.
FSU has allowed a total of just 6 points in the past 2 games, and it remains to be seen if Louisiana will be able to do much more than Syracuse or Miami. The Under is 10-4 in the past 14 games dating back to last season while hitting in each of the past 7 in November.
