Top Florida State vs. Pittsburgh predictions
After simulating Florida State vs. Pittsburgh 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under 52.5 points at betting apps and the best college football betting sites. The Over has hit in the last four FSU games, in large part because the Seminoles have allowed at least 36 points in three of them.
Ashton Daniels (2,146 yards, 14 TD, 12 INT) gives FSU a dual-threat spark, but turnovers and a leaky run defense have hurt the Seminoles. On the other side, Damon Ferguson (662 yards) leads a dynamic ground threat for the Panthers. Pitt's defense allows just 2.3 yards per carry on the season, the lowest mark in the nation.
The computer is calling for 52 combined points as the Under is the value pick 52% of the time. See the model's spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
