Before you make any Florida State vs. LSU picks or college football predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $2,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed the model has seen huge returns.
The model knows that LSU has a dynamic dual-threat quarterback in Jayden Daniels. A 6-foot-4 senior who transferred from Arizona State before last season, Daniels led the team in both passing (2,913 yards and 17 touchdowns) and rushing (885 yards, 11 TDs) last year. He was one of only two quarterbacks nationally to rush for 800 yards and pass for 2,500 yards.
But the model also has taken into account that Florida State has a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Jordan Travis. A 6-foot-1 senior from West Palm Beach, Fla., Travis was the only player in the country last season to lead his conference in yards per play, yards per pass attempt, yards per completion, pass efficiency rating and fewest interceptions thrown (minimum 200 pass attempts). He is one of four active players nationally with at least 5,500 passing yards and 1,700 rushing yards in his career.
Now, the model has set its sights on LSU vs. Florida State. We can tell you it is leaning Under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in over 50% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks.
