FSU football will play its game on Saturday against Charleston Southern at a weird time in the afternoon. It's a game between two one-win teams who average roughly 15 points per game. Believe it or not, Charleston Southern averages more points than FSU in 2024.
I joked earlier Monday that oddsmakers were confused about the betting line for the game as they hadn't posted one by Monday when most get posted on Sunday after college games finish on Saturdays.
Well, oddsmakers at DraftKings finally posted their odds for the game and FSU is a MASSIVE betting favorite at -33.5 points, with a total over/under of 44.5. Those odds imply a 40-6 type score favoring the Noles.
Mind you FSU hasn't scored more than 21 points since the season opener against Georgia Tech, and no more than 14 offensive points since. FSU's defense has been stingy until it's clear the FSU offense isn't going to show up. However, FSU will have Randy Shannon calling the defense on Saturday since Adam Fuller got fired last week.
Will the FSU defense hold Charleston Southern to fewer than a touchdown? I know Charleston Southern's offense is terrible, but will the FSU offense actually put up points on Saturday? Charleston Southern's defense allows 25 points per game and FSU should have an advantage in the trenches. However, we thought that for nearly every game this year, FSU's offense has been the worst among Power Four programs.
If FSU can't beat Charleston Southern, everybody should resign. However, do you think they'll cover this massive betting spread? Do you plan on placing a bet on the Noles?
