Florida State vs Pitt Prediction
In this Florida State vs Pitt prediction for this College Football Week 11 matchup on Friday, November 13th, Pitt is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Pitt has been the better team this season but neither team has been in good form lately, as Pitt is 1-3 in its last 4 games and 1-3 against the spread, while Florida State is also 1-3 in its last 4 games. Pitt has been almost perfect at home with a 5-1 record and has a slightly better offense and a superior defense, allowing 8.5 points per game less than Florida State, who has been terrible on the road, with a 1-3 record, having allowed 43, 44 and 50 points in three of its four road games, so I don’t expect them to keep this one close with such bad road defense. Take Pitt and lay the small number at home.
