Miami-FL vs Florida State Prediction

The current betting odds have Florida State listed as a 14.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Florida State has looked really good this season with their 9-0 record overall and their 7-0 conference record. They are ranked inside the top 4 right now but they didn't look great in their win last week despite beating Pittsburgh 24-7. Now they come back home and will be looking for a much better performance against a state rival here. Miami-FL is 6-3 overall this year but they have struggled a lot against ACC opponents with their 2-3 conference record. They have also been falling apart in their last few games with some bad losses starting to pile up. They just lost to NC State in their last game after a stretch of bad performances against bad teams and now they are going to have their toughest test of the season against one of the best teams in the country. Florida State is going to be focused on having a better performance here against another conference state rival especially since they are at home with so much on the line with a chance at the CFP. The best way to place a bet here is on Florida State to cover the spread in this game. 

Miami-FL Florida State Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 11, 2023 (3:30 pm ET start time) is FSU 35 Miami-FL 14.
