FSU football: Noles at plus odds to win 10 games in 2023

FSU football won 10 games in 2022 and easily should have been 11 after blowing a big halftime lead against NC State.

The Noles return more production than most teams in the nation, and added some top talent from the transfer portal at key positions.

Is it enough to win 10+ games in 2023? Oddmakers at Draftkings Sportsbook have FSU football at plus money to do it in 2023:

"Boston College: 5.5 (Over -120/Under +100)Clemson: 10 (Over +105/Under -125)Duke: 6.5 (Over +130/Under -150)Florida State: 10 (Over +110/Under -130)Georgia Tech: 4.5 (Over +120/Under -140)Louisville: 8 (Over -110/Under -110)Miami (Florida): 7.5 (Over +120/Under -140)North Carolina State: 6.5 (Over -145/Under +125)North Carolina: 8.5 (Over -110/Under -110)Pittsburgh: 7 (Over -120/Under +100)Syracuse: 6.5 (Over -105/Under -115)Virginia: 3.5 (Over -105/Under -115)Virginia Tech: 5.5 (Over +120/Under -145)Wake Forest: 6 (Over -120/Under +100)"

These are regular season wins(first 12 games), not counting the ACC Championship game or anything after the regular season. A bettor would need FSU to only lose one game or less to cash in on this bet +110 bet. If a bettor bet $100, they’d win $110 if FSU won 11 games.

If FSU lost two games, that would mean FSU would finish with 10 wins, and the bet would push(wouldn’t win or lose, and bettor receives the bet amount back).

The odds for FSU football to win the ACC are slightly below Clemson at +160, with Clemson at +155. The next closest team is North Carolina at +900. The way it works is you bet $100 on FSU to win $160. If you bet $100 on North Carolina, you’d win $900 if they won the ACC.

Mind you, this is a futures bet, meaning it doesn’t account for injuries to key players during the season. For instance, if Cade Klubnik got hurt and missed some games, that likely means you’d lose that bet because Clemson likely doesn’t win that many games without him. That goes for the starting QB on most college football teams.

It also ties up the money bet for the entire college football season. One wins total bet I’d suggest would be Louisville at eight wins. They have arguably the easiest schedule in the ACC. I have them with at least four easy wins, and another three as betting favorites. All they need to do is win two more games, and you’d have a winner.
