Both the 6.5 spread and 45.5 total points set |

Despite Savvy and bookies giving one- |
| |
Florida Atl. |

possession predictions, FAU will prevail. |
| |
|
|
|
|

Pittsburgh |

Pitt has come together and that makes |

Florida St. |

this 9 point prediction precarious. |

App State |

I see the 3-point spread by Vegas as |

Georgia St. |

too low and Savvy’s 15 too high. |

I think Savvy’s seven point projection |
