Florida State +3.5 over Syracuse
Leonard Hamilton and Jim Boeheim are great coaches, but Syracuse is over-valued and is the favorite on the road. Cuse didn’t play a demanding non-conference schedule, so their numbers look better than they are. Florida State can match the length of Syracuse, and I look for Matthew Cleveland to have a big game tonight for the Seminoles. Darin Green can knock down the three-pointer when it’s available, and I believe FSU has the size to crack the 2-3 defense Syracuse plays. Take Florida State.
