Central Arkansas Bears vs. Florida State Seminoles Prediction

I’m on the Bears and the points in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I think this is just too many points for a Florida State team that’s done nothing to warrant laying this kind of price when you look at their level of production this season. I think that the Bears get beat up here, but I think we’re looking at 49-10 with the Bears sneaking in the backdoor for the cover here. Give me Central Arkansas in this one.
