The Florida State Seminoles can’t score, can’t beat teams they should probably be beating, and they’re not covering numbers. FSU is fade material until it gets its act together. I know this is a big line and nobody expected the Noles to be this bad, but they are until proven otherwise. Give me the Virginia Cavaliers in a comfortable home victory.
