Bet on Louisville vs. Florida State
Louisville has won two of its last three meetings with Florida State while going 2-0-1 against the spread in those three games. FSU has been a puzzling team, as the Seminoles have some big wins and some shaky performances against bad teams. However, FSU has been pretty good about covering and I think they should be able to handle this average Louisville team. The public betting is backing Florida State as well.
