Although Florida State and Duke have drastically different records this season, oddsmakers seem to view the teams pretty similarly.
Circa Sports shared its opening betting lines for the Week 8 slate of college football games Sunday afternoon. FSU (1-5, 1-4 in ACC) opened as a one-point underdog for Friday's road game at Duke (5-1, 1-1). Considering home field is normally factored at around three points on a betting line, this means the Seminoles would likely be favored over Duke on a neutral site and definitely if this game was being played in Tallahassee.
Duke got off to a 5-0 start to its 2024 campaign before losing at Georgia Tech before a bye this week. However, the slate of teams the Blue Devils have beaten (Elon, Northwestern, UConn, Middle Tennessee State and North Carolina) is not the most impressive collection. That probably explains why the Seminoles and Blue Devils are viewed similarly.
