Final Syracuse-Florida State Prediction & Pick

This could easily be a letdown spot for Florida State. They have had those already this season and with Duke next week, this could be another one. Still, they know Syracuse can score in bunches and will be on the lookout for that. Syracuse was great in non-conference play but has not been as good since. They have struggled on offense, and have not made adjustments on defense. That will not be any different in this game. They do not have the depth to keep up with Florida State in this one.

Final Syracuse-Florida State Prediction & Pick: Florida State -17.5 (-110)
