Florida State +10.5 (-120) for 10*... I have already read a number of statements and an argument could be made for either side. However, I think Bobby Bowden will use being a 10-point Underdog as a motivational tool and the Seminoles are talented enough to produce the outright win. I know Weatherford was terrible most of the year (17 INT's... OUCH), but he was 21 for 35 with 225 yards and a TD & 0 INT's against Va Tech. I'm guessing Weatherford can do some damage against an average secondary (PSU #58 in pass defense) as he was the ACC leader in passing yards and has some solid WR's. Robinson is a tough kid for Penn State and can ran for 785 yards and 11 TD's. He should find it tough to run against Florida State as the Noles give up 113 yards per game rushing. Penn State's defense strength is it's front seven, but I think FSU will spread out the Nittany Lion defense and eliminate their strength.
If you back the Nittany Lions, you are looking for them to jump on the Noles early. I think FSU can match the early intensity and cover this game. I like my chances with the Criminoles as they could get a backdoor cover if nothing else. However, I have also watched this FSU team get beaten soundly by Clemson and Florida. Florida State had numerous turnovers and sloppy play in both games. I'm hoping they eliminate these mistakes tonight.
