Lipscomb vs Florida State Betting Prediction

Florida State comes into this game on a two game winning streak and they are 4-2 at home this year, but they have played very inconsistently to start the season. The Seminoles are only shooting 43.1% from the field and they are allowing 73.4 points against per game on defense. Lipscomb is right around that area on defense as well, but they are scoring 80.8 points per game and shooting 47.6% from the field on offense. The Bisons only lost by three points to Arkansas recently and I think they have the fire power to stay with Florida State in this game. Take Lipscomb with the points here.
