Best bets for Friday, Nov. 21

It looked like Florida State was back as an elite program after a shocking 2-10 campaign in 2024. The Seminoles were 3-0 and defeated Alabama in Week 1, but FSU is now 5-5 on the year and needs a win just to get into a bowl game. The Noles' next test is against NC State, another 5-5 team looking to clinch a spot in a bowl. FSU has struggled in ACC play, going 2-5 against conference foes. The Wolfpack haven't done much better, going 2-4 in conference action. The Seminoles are coming off a big win over Virginia Tech while the Wolfpack were just blown out by Miami. A key factor here is that NC State is hosting, as the Pack are 4-1 at home this year and FSU is 0-3 as the visiting team in 2025. This game has a very high total at 60.5, and the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every college football game 10,000 times, is taking the Under as that hits in 64% of sims. 

Over on the ice, the Wild head east for a matchup with the Penguins in one of the top NHL games Friday night in a battle of two teams with 24 points in the standings. Minnesota is quietly one of the hotter teams in the league right now, having won three in a row while going 7-2-1 over its last 10 games. The Penguins are 4-3-3 over their last 10 games and are coming off a 4-0 shutout of the Predators. These two foes have met once already this year, with the Penguins winning 4-1 in Minnesota on Oct. 30. The SportsLine model's top play for this game is the Pittsburgh money line at -130, as the Penguins win in 69% of the simulations.
