FSU football: Best and worst case scenarios for 2021 season
By Kelvin Hunt
Worst Case
The FSU football schedule could be broke into three types of games. There are games the Noles will likely be sizable betting underdogs.
- Notre Dame
- Clemson
- North Carolina
- Florida
- Miami
These are the games where FSU will be sizable betting favorites:
- Jacksonville State
- UMASS
- Syracuse
These are the games where it’ll likely be a toss-up or less than a touchdown betting spread:
- @ Wake Forest
- Louisville
- NC State
- @Boston College
The worst-case scenario is the Noles lose the opener against Notre Dame and the first road game at Wake Forest. That would put them at 1-2 going into a toss-up game against Louisville.
If they lose the Louisville game, they would go into the game at North Carolina at 2-3. A loss there puts them at 2-4. They should beat UMASS, which puts them at 3-4 going into games against Clemson, NC State, and Miami.
The Noles could conceivably lose all three of those games, which would put their record at 3-7 with two games left against Boston College and Florida. Let’s say they beat Boston College and lose against Florida to finish 4-8. That would be an awful outcome.
