UVA, as only a +6.5 betting underdog against FSU, seemed like free money. However, like most instances in gambling, if it’s too good to be true, it usually is. Over 90 percent of the bets were on FSU covering the spread, and it never moved over the last 4-5 days, and that’s always a red flag.
The way the game started with the suspect pass interference call on Duce Robinson should have been a sign. Then the Gavin Sawchuk fumble, and the weird interception off the tipped pass from Thomas Castellanos. All the signs started pointing to Vegas being Vegas.
Listen, FSU played about as poorly as you could have imagined and still had some chances to win that game, whether they deserved it or not. FSU fans have spent the last 15 hours venting and worrying about how badly FSU will lose to Miami next week.
They’ve been worrying about this or that, but if anyone said they would have put FSU at 3-1 going into the Miami game before the season started, we all would have taken it after going 2-10 last season.
UVA played hard, but had A LOT of flukish things go their way that easily could have gone the other way and given a different outcome. Credit to them for finding a way to win, but FSU fans need to chill with all of the overreactions to the game.
