As opposed to many Florida State (16-12, 8-17 ATS) squads of the past, at least this Seminoles team hasn’t packed it in. FSU won a pair of home games, including playing spoiler in taking down Clemson by nine as three-point home dogs. "This is a building board for us to understand that we've been in so many different situations and we've been through adversity. Now it's time to see what type of manhood we have," said guard Ralph Mims. Trend players are not going to find any good news about this Seminoles team, with 3-10 ATS conference record.

N.C. State (15-12, 6-18 ATS) has fallen off like the furniture business, with five consecutive losses and non-covers. It’s been uglier then Cojo’s hair-mess at the Oscars, losing by 14 PPG. The Wolfpack have shown little bite playing against teams with winning records as 5-12 ATS mark indicates. "We have to be smart about it. We have to make some shots and we have to have guys not turn the ball over so much. I have said it before and I will have to stand up every time, but we are not a running team. We cannot run. We do not make good decisions on the break, and with that we do not give ourselves an opportunity. We need to pull it back and execute our stuff and try to take advantage of matchups and situations." Coach Sidney Lowe said after losing to the only team below N.C. State in the ACC, Virginia.

The line will be tight either way. Choosing either is akin to putting hand in a vice and tightening or purposely slamming car door on all five fingers, both are going to hurt. The Seminoles are 0-6 ATS after a win by six points or less and the Wolfpack is 1-9 ATS after playing a game as an underdog this season.
