The Florida State Seminoles will take on the SC Upstate Spartans in a non-conference matchup. The Seminoles are 2-9 this season and have massively struggled in the ACC.
The Spartans are 5-4 for the season and do not look like they can finish strong in the Big South Conference. They defeated the South Carolina State Bulldogs in their last game but failed to cover the spread as 6.5-point favorites. The Seminoles defeated the Louisville Cardinals in their most recent matchup and managed to cover the spread as 9.5-point favorites.

Darin Green Jr. has led the Seminoles in point average this season.
The Seminoles are averaging 66.4 points on 41% shooting while giving up 72.5 points on 42.7% shooting. They are shooting 32.3% from the three-point line and 71.6% from the free-throw line. They are failing miserably on the defensive end of the court, as they are just restricting their opponents' 32.7% shooting from the three-point line.

In their most recent overtime win against the Bulldogs, Jordan Gainey scored 28 points and dished out five assists, while Mysta Goodloe scored 20 points and grabbed five rebounds.

Florida State vs SC Upstate Bettinhg Prediction
The Seminoles have struggled to get any wins this season, and the Spartans' defense has been prolific in restricting their opponents to a low score. I believe the Spartans will score enough to cover the spread tonight, as I don't see a struggling Seminoles unit having any vigor to defend in the final third of the game.
Pick: SC Upstate Spartans +15.5 (-118)
