The FSU vs. Missouri betting line had the Tigers as a +1 underdog.
Missouri finished 20-12 Straight Up and right around the .500 mark Against The Spread. They covered the spread in half of their last ten games of the season.
Florida State managed to go 20-11 Straight Up and 15-13-1 Against The Spread. They failed to cover in all but two of their final ten games.
To beat the Noles, teams have to match their intensity -- particularly on the backboards, where their length and depth can open up a large can of problems, Bill Doherty of ESPN.com writes.
The Missouri defense has been tough on most opponents. They held opponents to an effective field goal percentage of 46.7, which was top 20 nationally. This could prove tough for Florida State to ultimately overcome.
The line is on the money according to the Power Ratings so this one is especially difficult to predict.
