The Pick

Florida State -3 (-105)

Louisville pulled out a win against UCF last week thanks to some questionable coaching decisions, but Florida State should be able to come out with a win and cover against the Cardinals on Friday. FSU quarterback Jordan Travis has come out swinging already this season, and the Seminoles have started a season 2-0 for the first time since 2016, which is a good sign, especially after playing a tough opponent in LSU.
