Florida State vs Western Carolina Prediction

The Florida State Seminoles are obviously the more talented team and should win at home. FSU has also covered its last three games. However, the Western Carolina Catamounts are no pushovers, and they’re getting after it defensively, holding teams to 35.4 percent shooting. Western Carolina also hung around with Wake Forest, covering a massive number on the road. Assuming this line is steep, give me the points with the Catamounts.
