Florida State football enters a crucial game this Saturday, facing off against Charleston Southern in what could very well be their last chance to secure their second win of 2024.
After a bye week, FSU is now desperately trying to right the ship—but the odds for this game have yet to be released, and it’s raising huge red flags.
What’s going on? Just a few weeks ago, the thought of FSU losing to a one-win team like Charleston Southern would have been unthinkable. Fast forward to now, and the Seminoles are struggling, with zero signs of the high-powered offense they were expected to have. The shocking reality: FSU is the only FBS team that hasn’t scored more than 21 points in a game this season. With a sputtering offense and a defense that’s only gotten worse, some fans are genuinely worried this team could lose—against Charleston Southern.
The craziest part? Almost every college football game this week had odds posted by Sunday, except for this one. I checked multiple betting platforms, and nothing on the Seminoles’ game is available. Why? Oddsmakers are baffled by FSU’s struggles. With so much uncertainty surrounding the team—particularly after firing both coordinators—setting a line is no easy task.
A friend of mine threw out a guess, saying the line should be FSU -21. I nearly laughed—it’s the same Seminoles who can’t break 21 points! What’s going on here? Shouldn’t this be a game FSU dominates, especially when Charleston Southern is averaging just 15.5 points per game and allowing 25.45? Yes, FSU should theoretically win this game easily, but after what we’ve witnessed over the past five weeks, can anyone confidently bet on this team?
Oddsmakers are clearly hesitant to set a line, and the fact that it’s still missing speaks volumes. FSU’s inability to find its rhythm, combined with the firing of key coaching staff, leaves much to be desired. This is a program in crisis, and the betting world is taking notice. No one knows exactly what to expect from the Seminoles right now. With every game, FSU fans are asking: Can this team pull it together, or are we watching a full-blown collapse unfold?
As the game day approaches, all eyes are on FSU. Will they wake up, or will their disarray continue? One thing is clear—the Seminoles’ future is hanging in the balance.
