Florida State (5-6) football will travel to Gainesville this week to face its rival, the Florida Gators (3-8). FSU has been in this situation under Mike Norvell before, needing a win in the Swamp against a Florida team with an interim head coach to become bowl eligible. The Noles lost that game, but will this season be different?
FSU is the better team on paper, but they haven’t won a road game since winning in the Swamp in 2023 with a backup quarterback. That’s right, they haven’t won a road game in two years. The oddsmakers have this game as a pick’em and expect it to be a 27-24 type game.
