5. Florida State (+104 ML) vs. Louisville

I know what you’re thinking: Louisville is coming off its best win of the season over UCF so why would they lose to an 0-3 Florida State team?

Don’t get me wrong, I think Florida State might be one of the worst teams in the Power Five this year, but the Seminoles are going to win at least a couple of games in ACC play. I mean, they have to, right? Louisville at home might be one of the easiest remaining games on the schedule.

The Cardinals haven’t exactly been world-beaters this year, getting stomped in the opener by Ole Miss before bouncing back to beat Eastern Kentucky 30-3 and UCF by a touchdown. We don’t really know what to expect from Malik Cunningham and this offense and that’s exactly why I don’t trust the Cardinals on the road against the Seminoles.

Florida State might be really bad this year, but it’s very tough to win in Doak Campbell and the Cardinals aren’t exactly known for going on the road and beating historical ACC powers.

Give me the Seminoles here in an “upset” to get their first win of 2021.
