Does Houston even stand a chance against FSU?

[TDs3nOut]

Surprisingly, I'm guardedly optimistic, despite the Seminoles -7.5 spread.

FSU defense is formidable, while the Houston offense has scored a lot of points.

At the other end of the field, FSU RB is among the top RBs in the country, though Houston has been pretty good against the run.

What you got?

They did lose to GTech this season, and I never say never after the Boise State/Oklahoma game.

Houston in an upset

FSU hasn't beaten a single team all year that Houston wouldn't beat by double digits. This game is perfect for the Cougars. An overrated traditional power coming into a game they probably have little to no interest in playing. Very reminiscent of the UL-UF AND UTAH - BAMA Sugar Bowls in recent past. Houston by 17

Oh good. I picked at least one underdog in my pick ems. I think Houston wins a close one

In fairness.....that Houston defense hasn't faced a RB like Cook. They are going to have to put 8 in the box to even remotely have a chance at stopping him or even slowing him down.

I like Houston in this one. For starters, Greg Ward is the best QB they've faced all year outside of Watson (though Ward is not that far off, honestly). I think Dalvin Cook does a Dalvin Cook and gets arrested before the game (but this time not in Tallahassee where they can cover it up), FSU mails it in and Houston wins big, 35-13.

Bold pick, I like it. Once again another game I have learned to never say never after was Utah beating the crap out of Alabama.

I have broke Vegas this year. I am tempted to bet my winnings on Houston to win this thing.

mega bucks.

 

[KnightAndDay]

I have FSU but I think its far closer than those predicting an FSU blowout.


31-28, Noles

 

[outofyourmind]

Florida State is going to get it's ASS KICKED.
Reasons:??
1) They dont want to be there.
2) Their players checking their draft status.
3) HUNH
4) Houston is just flat out better.

 

[Deep Creek]

I'll take the Cougs.

What would be the payout on this? Not spread I am assuming, odds right?
