My Florida State vs. Alabama same-game parlay believes revenge is a dish best served in Tuscaloosa. No. 10 Alabama was the better team a year ago in a forgettable loss to Florida State, but now it will have Bryant-Denny behind it in the rematch.

With Alabama favored by 18.5 points, the action kicks off from Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC).

🚀 Best Florida State vs. Alabama SGP & parlay picks for Week 3

Alabama -18.5 (-110)

Alabama had no business losing to last year’s Florida State team, but lightning won’t strike twice as the series shifts from Tallahassee to Tuscaloosa. Florida State’s defense has struggled mightily, allowing 452.0 yards of total offense per game (109th in FBS).

The motivation for retribution alone following last year’s embarrassment for Kalen DeBoer should be enough to produce a three-touchdown win, but if not, FSU’s defense should be able to do the rest.

Fanduel offers the spread at Alabama -18.5, providing an edge over DraftKings (-19.5).

Keelon Russell Under 258.5 passing yards (-114)

Keelon Russell hasn’t exactly been Joe Namath so far for the Crimson Tide. Bama might find leaning on his arm more optimal this week considering just how bad FSU’s pass defense has been, but I still expect Alabama to prioritize the run in a balanced attack.

Alabama is a run-first team as Russell gets into the swing of the season. His passing line seems high for a QB who hasn’t hit it in either of his starts. FanDuel is the only spot we’re seeing the ability to wager Under on Russell’s total, so that’s the place for the parlay.

Danie Hill Over 80.5 rushing yards (-114)

Here’s where the correlation comes into our game script. We anticipate Alabama to run against Florida State’s defense despite FSU having a pass funnel unit defensively.

Sure, the Seminoles shut down the New Mexico State rushing attack, but SMU still ran for 155 yards and posted a solid 5.0 YPC as a team - even as the Mustangs threw for 430 yards.

Daniel Hill is the lead back of a run-first offense. He eclipsed 100 rushing yards last week in a conference game that Alabama won by 28, so I like him get enough touches to clear this rushing plateau.
