Why Florida State can cover?
Florida State went 13-0 during the 2023 regular season and opened the 2024 campaign ranked inside the top 10. The Seminoles were massive 17-point favorites against Boston College two weeks ago, so this is a huge line adjustment. They’re also playing at home for the third straight week, so any residual effects from their trip to Ireland should have worn off.
Meanwhile, California is making a round-trip trip across the country for its ACC opener, so this isn't an easy matchup for the Golden Bears. They've only picked up five wins in their last 20 road games, while Florida State is 9-2 in its last 11 home games. This is a cheap buy position for Florida State and an expensive sell position for Cal. See which team to choose here.
