Florida State vs Syracuse Over/Under Pick: Under 150½
While Syracuse has been a better team ATS away from home, one thing that’s stood true this season is that the under has been friendly to backers in games played in front of the Orange’s own supporters. The total has gone over in just four of 12 games that Syracuse has played at home this season.
Tack on that the Orange have allowed 69, 58, and 59 in three of their last four games, with the lone outlier being a 103-67 loss to the ACC’s only unbeaten team in North Carolina, and the under looks strong college basketball bet here.
Florida State vs Syracuse ATS Pick: Syracuse (-3) to Cover vs Florida State
This Syracuse group has the look of one with a legitimate upside that could continue to be on display over the coming months. Their losses this season came against teams in the top 25 (all with top-15 rankings at the time of their meeting) and then one at the hands of the 13-5 Virginia Cavaliers on the road.
I like Syracuse to pull out the win here and hold off a solid Florida State team. The Orange may not win it by 20, but I think they cover this spread.
Florida State vs Syracuse Moneyline Pick: Syracuse -155
If you’re at all worried about the iffy betting stats for Syracuse at home ATS, it’s worth noting that the moneyline on this game could make a lot of sense. It’s only -155 and while you’ll have to deal with taking a hit on the odds, it can provide some protection from a victory that comes down to the wire. On the flip side, Florida State has value at +130 on the moneyline if backing the Seminoles, but my targeted play for this would be the Orange straight up.
