The Florida State Seminoles (4-2) battle ACC rival and 17^th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels (6-1) coming up on Saturday, December 2 at 2:00 PM ET. The Tar Heels have a point spread at -7.5 (-110), showing they are favored to win.

The Seminoles recently lost a nail biter to the Georgia Bulldogs 68-66. This loss snapped their previous two-game winning streak and shows they are vulnerable against good all-around teams.

They are going to need a productive performance out of Darin Green Jr. (14.5 PPG). This offense is solid, but it will be tested in a hostile environment that the Tar Heels have.

The Seminoles have been averaging 80.3 points per game while shooting 46.5 points from the field. They do better than the Tar Heels in assists each game at 15.7.

They allow teams to average 72.8 points each game, which might be too much against the Tar Heels. Their ability to grab 36.5 rebounds might not be enough in comparison, as it could lead to more chances for the Tar Heels since they do better in that regard. They also obtain 4.3 blocks and 10.2 steals each matchup.

The Tar Heels have won their last two games coming into this one. They recently defeated the 10^th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers 100-92, so they have a ton of confidence heading into their next matchup.

If they come out strong like they did against the Vols in the first half (61 points), this game will definitely be out of reach quickly. However, can they sustain this momentum?

They put together 87.4 points per game and shoot 46.4 percent from the floor. They average 14.3 assists each game, which shows they get others involved in the offense.

The Tar Heels allow 72.3 points from opposing teams each game and average 39.7 rebounds. If they can attack the boards often, they can limit the Seminoles’ second chances and give themselves more opportunities to score. They also create 4.3 blocks and 5.4 steals per game.

MyBookie is showing that the North Carolina Tar Heels are heavy favorites to win, but could be a close game according to the point spread. Market analysis has the Tar Heels having an 83.3 percent chance at success.
