The staff at Sports Chat Place is rolling with the Seminoles to cover the spread, but we should note they list Florida State as 8.5-point underdogs, which is larger than FanDuel Sportsbook. Sports Chat Place believes the Seminoles' athleticism and size could give the Bulldogs problems, but they are still picking Gonzaga to win outright.

Pete Fiutak, of College Football News, also thinks Florida State's length and athleticism will bother Gonzaga here, predicting a final score of 82-78 in the Bulldogs' favor. However, Fiutak believes the Seminoles' aggressive style of play could result in a ton of free throw attempts for the Bulldogs, so he's picking Gonzaga to win.
