5* NCAAB Blowout Game of the Week on Florida State -12
Motivated by back-to-back defeats, and last year's upset loss at Auburn, expect Florida State to take care of business in a big way this evening.

Some might find it interesting that FSU is laying double digits with 2 less wins than Auburn. There is a good reason for this. The Seminoles are a better team than their record shows as they have taken on the likes of Harvard, UConn, Michigan State and Florida. The Tigers aren't as battle-tested. Seton Hall and Long Beach State are really the only two quality teams Auburn has faced and it was crushed by 20-plus in both of those contests.

Auburn is just 1-3 SU and ATS when playing away from home this season with these 3 defeats coming by an average of 16.7 points. FSU, meanwhile, is 7-1 SU (4-2 ATS) at home where it has won by an average of 17.9 points. Lay the points.
