The current betting odds have Florida State listed as a 21 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Florida State is ranked inside the top 4 in the country and they have looked really good all season with their 8-0 record overall. They are 6-0 in their conference games and they have really been blowing out a lot of teams since coming out of their bye. Pittsburgh has been the complete opposite of a team this season with their 2-6 record overall and they are also 1-3 in their conference games as they have looked terrible this season. They just lost 58-7 in their last game against Notre Dame and even though they are going to be at home here, they don't have the talent to keep this a close game with the way they have played all year. Florida State has their eyes set on the college football playoffs and Jordan Travis is also looking to be the Heisman winner so Florida State is not taking their foot off the gas here. The best way to place a bet here is on Florida State to cover the spread in this game. 

Florida State Pittsburgh Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 4, 2023 (3:30 pm ET start time) is FSU 45 Pitt 13.
