Eagles vs. Seminoles Prediction
The Winthrop Eagles have never shied away from a challenge in their program’s history and they will have another one today as they travel to play the ninth-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Can Winthrop at least stay within the number to cover the spread today?

College Basketball Betting Trends
Winthrop
The Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. Winthrop is 5-12 ATS in its last 17 road games versus a team with a winning home record.
Florida State
The Seminoles are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 Tuesday games. Florida State is 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven home games.
Prediction:
Florida State has occasionally failed to dominate inferior opponents at home and that could be the case again today, especially with a huge road showdown at undefeated Virginia on deck. I’d imagine the spread will be somewhere in the 18 or 19-point range. Keep an eye out for when it’s released. If it is at 17 points or more, I’m on Winthrop.
