Memphis at Florida State Preview and Best Bet – 9/14/2024

The Memphis Tigers will take on the Florida State Seminoles on September 14, 2024, with the Tigers entering as 6.5 point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting action shows 57% of spread bets favoring Memphis, while 43% are backing Florida State. The total of 52 has seen 45% of bets on the under and 55% on the over. This matchup promises to be an exciting clash between two competitive teams vying for a victory on the gridiron and we have you covered with our best bet for Memphis vs Florida State.

Memphis Looks for 3-0 Start

The Memphis Tigers are off to a 2-0 start this season, with double-digit wins over North Alabama and Troy under their belt. Here, they face their toughest test of the season so far in Florida State. But with the way the Seminoles are playing going into this Memphis vs Florida State matchup, Memphis could very well come out of Tallahassee with a win that would move them to 3-0 on the season.

The best quarterback in this game might be Seth Henigan of the Tigers. He is averaging 234.5 passing yards per game with three touchdowns and no interceptions. But compared to DJ Uiagalelei of Florida State, Henigan has looked like Patrick Mahomes, and we could see him win the quarterback battle in this contest as well.

Florida State Off to a Disastrous Start

Things could not have gone worse for Florida State to start their season. The Seminoles are 0-2 after losing to two straight ACC opponents, first Georgia Tech, then Boston College. Here, the Seminoles are at home once again and they hope that they can begin to turn around a season that has gone disastrously before the middle of September has even arrived.

If Florida State wants to avoid a third straight loss, they need to get more out of quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. Uiagalelei has one touchdown and one interception through two games, which is nowhere near adequate given the talent advantages that Florida State has elsewhere on their roster. If the quarterback play is not better this week, FSU could be looking at an 0-3 start and some major questions about the direction of the program in the future.

Memphis vs Florida State Best Bet

At this point in time, it is hard to justify betting on Florida State given how poorly they have played to this point in the season. But they should have a physical advantage at their disposal in this game now that they aren't facing a power conference team. We will reluctantly take the Seminoles to win and cover the number in this Memphis vs Florida State matchup, though we could end up regretting that.
