Florida State on the Board for Week 4 Gridiron Betting Slate

Florida State is still ranked No. 1 in the nation followed by Oregon at No. 2 in the latest AP Top 25, but both teams proved costly to wager on last week according to the 5Dimes college football closing betting odds.

The Seminoles did not have starting quarterback Jameis Winston in their lineup against Clemson last Saturday night and it showed in a tight 23-17 overtime win as 9.5-point home favorites. This Saturday Florida State will be on the road against North Carolina State as a 21.5-point favorite. The Wolfpack come in with an 11-2 record against the spread in their last 13 games against Florida State in this ACC clash.

The Ducks are off this week, which could be a good thing after struggling to get by Washington State 38-30 as 21.5-point road favorites this past Saturday on the 5Dimes closing betting odds. However, if you like to wager on the Pac-12 there is a huge showdown on tap this Thursday.

No. 11 UCLA will take its show on the road to Sun Devil Stadium to tangle with No. 15 Arizona State as a 5-point favorite. It appears that Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley will be ready to go after hurting his elbow against Texas two weeks ago. The betting odds on the total are still off the board. The series is tied 5-5 straight-up in the last 10 meetings, but UCLA has a 7-3 edge ATS.

One of Saturday’s biggest college football games in the SEC sends Missouri on the road to face No. 14 South Carolina. The Tigers tumbled from the rankings at No. 18 with a shocking 31-27 loss to Indiana this past Saturday as 14.5-point home favorites. This Saturday they will square off against the Gamecocks as 6-point underdogs. Missouri is 6-1 ATS in its last seven conference games on the road and it is 2-0 ATS in the last two meetings against South Carolina.

Week 4 in the NFL gets underway with a classic showdown in the NFC East between New York and Washington. Both teams come into this game with a 1-2 record SU and are looking for a win to keep pace in the division race. The Redskins have been opened by 5Dimes as 3-point home favorites and the total line has been set at 45.5. Washington is just 3-9 SU in the last 12 meetings, but it has covered ATS in five of the last seven games against the Giants.
