3* NCAAB SMASH on South Alabama +14
South Alabama returns all five starters from a team that was brutally embarrassed by Florida State last season. The Jaguars lost 80-39 to the Seminoles last November, and you better believe they haven't forgotten about it. Driven by that defeat, South Bama will want this game more.

This isn't the same FSU team that defeated the Jags last season as only one starter returns and a half dozen veteran players were lost. The Noles will still be very good defensively, but I expect their offense to struggle in the early going as the new regulars try to get acclimated.

The Seminoles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games while the Jaguars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. The Seminoles are also just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Take the points.
