North Carolina Tar Heels vs Florida State Seminoles prediction
The North Carolina Tar Heels are the more talented team, and they’ve proven time and time again they can win on the road. This is a true test for the Florida State Seminoles to prove that this recent stretch is for real. With that said, FSU has found something offensively during these victories, and we know the Donald L. Tucker Center is going to be rocking for this one. Florida State has covered 6 of its last 7 games. Lot of points here. I’ll take a shot with the Noles and the free buckets.
