Florida State limps into today's contest following a 94-66 blowout loss to NC State on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Louisville put a 10-game losing streak to bed with a 68-58 win against Georgia Tech earlier this week, led by Jaelyn Withers' 19-point, 13-rebound double-double.

Florida State vs Louisville Prediction & Pick

Florida State and Louisville are where they are in the standings due to two horrific defenses. The Seminoles allow 75.2 PPG (No. 291) heading into today's game while the Cardinals surrender 74.5 PPG (No. 276). In other words, this game will likely come down to the better offense and, in that case, I'm siding with FSU.

Florida State scores 69.7 PPG (No. 198) and while that isn't mind-blowing, the Seminoles have at least scored 70-plus points in three of their last five games. For reference, Louisville has only hit the 70-point mark four times all season. FSU also has the playmaking edge, averaging 13.7 assists (No. 99) to Louisville's 9.0 (No. 360).

If that isn't convincing enough, Florida State has also won six straight games against Louisville, outscoring its ACC rival by an average of 12.8 points over that span.

It won't be pretty, but FSU is in a good position to walk out of KFC Yum! Center with the victory.

Final Score Prediction: Florida State: 74 | Louisville : 65

Florida State vs Louisville Best Bet

Though success has eluded Florida State, the Seminoles have thrived against the spread. Not only are they 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games, but they've also covered the spread in 11 of their last 16 ACC matchups.

Meanwhile, Louisville is 1-4 ATS in its last five outings and 3-13 ATS in its last 16 games on a Saturday. On top of that, the Cardinals have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games against the Seminoles.

With Louisville rarely keeping things close recently, expect Florida State to cover the 5.5-point spread en route to victory.

Bet: Florida State -5.5 (-110)
