Memphis vs Florida State Prediction

The Florida State Seminoles keep going to get the benefit of the doubt from oddsmakers against teams they’re more talented than. However, I’m not sure how anybody can lay a touchdown with FSU after losses to Georgia Tech and Boston College. A $100 bettor is up over $1,000 if fading Florida State on the ML through two games. Florida State has shown nothing offensively with Uiagalelei at quarterback, and the Noles defense can’t stop the run. Florida State is also 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite. 

Mario Anderson is off to a great start for Memphis, and he should be licking his chops seeing this Florida State defense. Give me Memphis and the free touchdown and after those two games, I may sprinkle something on that Tigers ML. Florida State is a complete joke.
