North Carolina vs Florida State Prediction & Pick

Playing at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center hasn't given Florida State much of an advantage lately. On top of being just 5-10 at home, the Seminoles are on a six-game losing streak in their arena. They've surrendered 78.2 PPG over that stretch, losing each game by an average of 9.3 points.

With poor defensive play like that, Florida State will have a tough time guarding a North Carolina team averaging 77.1 PPG (No. 37). Furthermore, the Tar Heels have had a decent amount of success in Tallahassee, FL, winning 13 of their last 19 road games against the Seminoles.

With Florida State winning just four of its 14 games as the underdog, I don't see an upset happening tonight. The Tar Heels will take advantage of the Seminoles' recent poor play at home, resulting in a UNC victory.

Final Score Prediction: North Carolina: 79 | Florida State: 70

North Carolina vs Florida State Best Bet

Though neither team has been overly reliable against the spread, I'm still backing North Carolina to cover tonight. Not only is Florida State 1-6 ATS in its last seven games, but it's also 2-14 ATS in its last 16 February contests. Furthermore, the Seminoles have failed to cover the spread in 12 of their last 14 meetings with the Tar Heels.

Considering that UNC crushed FSU by 20 points in their last meeting, I see North Carolina winning this one by a few possessions.

Bet: North Carolina 7.5 (-118)
