North Florida
The Ospreys are 4-1 ATS in their last five non-conference games. The under is 4-1 in the last five North Florida games.
Florida State
The under is 10-3-1 in the last 14 Seminoles games overall. Florida State is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games overall.
Prediction:
Florida State is a better team defensively than on the offensive end and I can’t see North Florida having a very easy time scoring here. Even if Florida State scores at ease as it probably will, the pace will likely slow in the second half and the Ospreys aren’t likely to do their part to send the total over the projection.
