Florida State lost 87-74 to the Gators last November. They were even worse of a team last season and now have some program momentum moving forward. There’s no question that the Gators are the better team with a lot more talent. However, Florida State does have size to match in the frontcourt. The main concern for the Gators is their backcourt. They have not been shooting the ball efficiently to begin the season and we know that Florida State will play fast and launch a bunch of threes. Florida has been under .500 ATS over its first 5 games each of the last 3 seasons. In their last 11 November home games, the Gators have gone just 3-8 ATS.

This line opened 18.5 then fell to 15.5. It may dip further but that number is in my wheelhouse, so I'm going to grab it. New Florida State head coach Luke Loucks said he wants the Noles to play at the fastest pace in CBB. So far, so good. FSU topped 100 points in wins over Alcorn State and Alabama State playing at a frenetic pace. However, teams that play fast against Florida typically don’t live to tell about it. Granted, the Gators lost to Arizona playing that style but the Wildcats have an elite roster. This is a tough spot for a new coach with an entirely new roster going on the road for the first time. Bet up to -17.5.
