Florida State at Syracuse odds, picks and predictions
The Florida State Seminoles (6-3, 4-3 ACC) visit the Syracuse Orange (6-3, 3-2) Saturday. Kickoff from the JMA Wireless Dome is at 8 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook's lines around the Florida State vs. Syracuseodds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Florida State - ranked No. 23 in the College Football Playoff rankings - lost 3 straight games to ranked foes from Oct. 1-15, but the Seminoles have rebounded with convincing back-to-back victories the last 2 weeks. The most recent of those came last Saturday when FSU covered a 6-point spread and drubbed Miami 45-3 on the road.
Syracuse lost 19-9 as a 3.5-point underdog at Pittsburgh last week and has lost 3 straight games of its own. The Panthers held SU to a season-low 145 total yards.
The Seminoles defeated the Orange 33-30 last year (Oct. 2, 2021) in a game that had 5 ties/lead changes and was decided by a 34-yard field goal as time expired.

Prediction
Florida State 34, Syracuse 23
Moneyline
AVOID: lots of juice to wade through here.
Against the spread
The FSU offense is more explosive than what SU's defense has been seeing in recent weeks. The 'Noles have cranked out 450 or more yards in 3 straight games and they are 6-0 ATS across their last half-dozen road games.
Syracuse starting QB Garrett Shrader is listed as questionable with an undisclosed injury. His backup - QB Carlos Del Rio-Wilson - is just 22-of-50 this season. Whoever leads the Orange will be up against a Florida State defense that has tightened up in the red zone of late. Opponents have scored TDs on just 4 of their last 11 drives inside the FSU 20-yard line.
TAKE THE SEMINOLES -7 (-110).
Over/Under
Consider this a well-made total. No room to operate on either side. PASS.
