The Florida State Seminoles will host one of their biggest rivals, the Florida Gators, at 3:35pm ET this afternoon. The game will be broadcast on ABC. Florida leads the series 31-19-2 and they have beat the Seminoles the last four outings. College football betting odds at Sportsbook.com have Florida State listed as a +16 home underdog.
Florida comes into this afternoon's game as one of the hottest teams in the country. They are ranked number four in the BCS standings and are riding a seven game winning streak. The Gators have already sealed an appearance in next week's SEC Championship Game against Alabama regardless of today's result. However, they need a win today to keep their national championship hopes alive.
The Seminoles have put together a nice 8-3 2008 season after finishing 7-6 last year. Should Boston College lose to Maryland today and Florida State beat Florida, the Seminoles could reach the ACC title game. That will be a pretty tall order for a team that has lost two of its last four games. Still, Florida State is capable given the quality of their defensive unit. Bobby Bowden's team has allowed teams just 272.6 yards per game this season.
College Football Betting Trend: The Gators are 10-0 straight up in their last games as a road favorite.
