Florida State Opens As Slim Underdog To North Carolina Tar Heels
There is still football left to play in Tallahassee despite the Florida State Seminoles being eliminated from bowl contention with four games remaining in 2024. Next up on the docket are the North Carolina Tar Heels as FSU returns to Doak Campbell Stadium for a Saturday afternoon affair.
The Tar Heels snapped a four-game slide with a 41-14 victory against Virginia on the road last weekend. North Carolina has turned to graduate transfer quarterback Jacolby Criswell, who has completed 124/217 passes for 1,660 yards with ten touchdowns to three interceptions, in the wake of Max Johnson’s season-ending injury. The team also sports one of the top running backs in the country in Omarion Hampton. The dynamic threat has rushed 181 times for 1,006 yards and nine touchdowns.
An interesting fact worth knowing coming into the week; North Carolina head coach Mack Brown has never defeated Florida State – his alma mater – during his career (0-8). Two of those losses came to Mike Norvell in 2020 (31-28) and 2021 (35-25).

Despite the history in FSU’s favor, the team enters the week, to no surprise, as a slim underdog in the matchup. According to early lines from DraftKings, Florida State is a +2-point underdog against North Carolina. The over/under is set at 50 points. FSU also trails +110 to -130 on the Moneyline.
This is the fifth straight game where Florida State has been regarded as the betting underdog. At this point, the Seminoles might not be favored to beat Charleston-Southern in a few weeks. Maybe that’s a little harsh but the product on the field is that bad and there aren’t many positives to take away from anything the team has done this season.
Florida State and North Carolina will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 2. The game will be televised on the ACC Network.
Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.

Florida investigating AI role in mass shooting at university
Florida on Tuesday announced a criminal probe into whether artificial intelligence played a role in a deadly mass shooting at a university in the US state.
“If ChatGPT were a person, it would be facing charges for murder,” Uthmeier said.
Florida law allows anyone who assists or counsels someone in the commission of a crime to be treated as an “aider and abettor” bearing the same responsibility as the perpetrator, according to Uthmeier.
In exchanges with ChatGPT, the accused shooter sought advice on what type of gun and ammunition to use, as well as where and when on campus a lot of people would likely be found, the state attorney general said during a press briefing.
“Last year’s mass shooting at Florida State University was a tragedy, but ChatGPT is not responsible for this terrible crime,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.

Florida wildfire strands Amtrak passengers for over 24 hours
A massive wildfire in Putnam County in northern Florida left Amtrak passengers stranded on a train for more than 24 hours.
One train heading to New York City was forced to turn around, arriving back in Miami Monday night, including one passenger who said he had been on that train for about 38 hours.
He says he and other passengers were left uncertain about what was going on.
“Angry, confused, uncertain, in the dark,” said John Reardon.
Reardon, who lives in New York City, says he boarded the train around 7 a.m. Sunday to go back home. He said around 3 p.m. Sunday, the train stopped near Jacksonville.
“Finally, after about 5 hours, they said we’re not going to New York, we’re going back to Miami,” Reardon said. “One stop at a time.”
Amtrak said for the safety of its passengers, the train couldn’t continue going north because of the fire.
“Amtrak sends a notification to the phone saying, ‘Hey, there’s an issue with the wildfire, it’s too close to the railway,’” said passenger Katrinia Wheeler.
Multiple crews are battling multiple fires in two Florida counties, leaving at least 3,000 acres burned.
“I saw that there was a lot of smoke coming from the woods, and then I saw the fire trucks and emergency services,” Wheeler said.
The train that left Miami at 7 a.m. on Sunday returned around 9 p.m. on Monday, leaving passengers frustrated.
Amtrak corporate says they made the decision out of safety for their customers and said customers would receive full refunds and vouchers.
