College Football Odds: Louisiana-Florida State prediction, odds and pick

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns will travel to take on the Florida State Seminoles in a Saturday afternoon college football matchup at Doak S. Campbell Stadium. Let’s continue our college football odds series and make our Louisiana-Florida State prediction and pick.

Louisiana has gone 5-5 this season, staring down bowl eligibility with two games remaining. The Ragin' Cajuns have gone 3-4 in conference play. The Ragin' Cajuns pummeled Georgia Southern 36-17 last week. New head coach Michael Desormeaux could endear himself to the fans with a bowl bid in his first season.

Florida State seems to have made the correct choice to not act rashly and fire Mike Norvell. Following a 5-7 season, Florida State has gone 7-3 this season, including a 5-3 record in ACC play. Florida State has gone 3-2 at home, negating the supposed home-field advantage.
