The Pitt Panthers vs Florida State Seminoles
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Pitt / FSU Over 149.5 -130
Pitt has won 3 out of their last 4 games against Florida State and covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 matchups. In 4 of their last 6 meetings, the total score went over. Last season, Pitt beat Florida State 88-73 at home, covering the spread and going over the point total. For this Pitt Panthers vs Florida State Seminoles game, Pitt is favored by 2.5 points on the road. Pitt's offense is stronger and their shooting percentages are better, but they've only covered the spread once in their last 4 games, so I'm not confident in them right now. Both teams have been hitting high scores recently, with Pitt going over in 5 of their last 6 games and Florida State doing the same in 3 of their last 4 home games. I think it'll be another high-scoring game, so bet on the total score going over.
