The Florida State Seminoles are just a day away from playing in the biggest game of the season against the No. 3 Miami Hurricanes. The Seminoles will look to move past a rough loss in Louisville to the Cardinals in Week 6, where the defense allowed 397 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.
Week 5 was an exciting time for Florida State, with a dominant win in all phases over a veteran-led opponent in Virginia. However, all the momentum coach Mike Norvell managed to build against the Cavaliers quickly fizzled out during the trip to Kentucky. Florida State looked like a shell of the Week 5 team against Louisville, which does not exactly bode well for the team's chances against a powerhouse like Miami.
The Seminoles are currently massive three-touchdown underdogs against the Hurricanes in Miami, and the public has been heavily backing the home team. Miami opened the week as a -1800 moneyline favorite, but the latest updates have the Hurricanes currently sitting at -2300 to pull off the win.
There is plenty on the line for Florida State despite entering the game with a 3-3 record, as many rumors have been swirling for months about Norvell being cut loose afterwards. Pulling off the improbable win would be exciting to see, but the reality is that the Seminoles have not been able to maintain any of their success this season, and defeating Miami likely brings the team no closer to lasting changes.
