FSU vs. USF Betting Preview: Bookies Strong Opinion on Bulls Cover
The FSU vs. USF betting line opened at Noles -5 and for a while had jumped to -6.5 and peaked at -7 but was back down to -5 heading into Saturday morning. Florida State was the most wagered on side in this week’s College Football slate.
With oddsmakers refusing to budge in moving the line back up beyond -5, it would appear they do have a pretty solid opinion on South Florida covering here. More telling is that some of the sharper books were bringing this line down to -4.5. FSU was seeing 86 percent of the action here.
The Bulls enter this game 3-0 both Straight Up and Against The Spread. The Seminoles are 2-1 Straight Up and 1-1 ATS coming into this matchup.
Florida State beat USF at home last season but as a -28.5 favorite.
South Florida, for its part, has enjoyed double-digit wins over Northern Illinois and Syracuse so far this season.
Fox Sports notes:
A discerning bettor would break down the stats and could come to the conclusion that USF is a better team — one due for an outright win. FOXSports' WhatIfSports simulation has USF losing by one point with a win probability of 43 percent.
