Betting on the Florida State Seminoles
- Season record: 4-10
The Florida State Seminoles are struggling to find consistency this college basketball season. It has been a difficult campaign but little by little they are getting back on track. In 14 games, they have only won four times, and three of those victories came in the last five. While that can be considered a plus, being the second most losing team in the Atlantic Coast Conference is not a good thing, being in second to last place.
They managed to beat Notre Dame by a minimal margin with a score of 73-72 in their previous duel, and that could be an incentive before facing one of the teams that is among the five best in the Conference.
Betting on Duke Blue Devils
- Season record: 10-3
Duke’s season has not been perfect, and although they have the third most wins in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 10-3 record, those losses have interrupted their winning streaks.
In fact, in their last game they lost 81-70 to Wake Forest, snapping a four-game winning streak. That loss may raise several questions, as Wake Forest is in lower positions in the conference standings and here again will face another opponent that appears to be at a lower level.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the recent loss, the Blue Devils have proven to be a more complete team than Florida State. In addition, the Seminoles have allowed the most points in the conference with 1025, and offer no guarantee of stopping one of the best teams in the zone.
Prediction: Duke Blue Devils win by 15 points.
