Free Betting Pick: Florida State Seminoles -9
Vermont is a solid mid-major team, but this is a terrible matchup for them considering the size and depth of Florida State. Vermont’s tallest starter is 6’6 which problematic considering Florida State’s starting lineup consists of a 7’4 center as well as two wings who are 6’7+. Florida State proved in the ACC Tournament that they are a very good defensive squad as they can disrupt an opposing team in the paint which is bad news for Anthony Lamb. FSU wins and covers, 77-65.
