No. 15 Louisville vs No. 4 Florida State Odds

• Opening point spread: Florida State -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Florida State -132/Louisville +108
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 6:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: The status of Florida State QB Tate Rodemaker (concussion) is still not set. The Seminoles are down to -1.5 (-105) at BetMGM Nevada, after opening -5.5 and seeing the number steadily recede all week due to Rodemaker potentially not playing.

"Ticket count is almost dead even, nine more tickets on Louisville. Money is also nearly a dead heat," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said of action at the sportsbook's Vegas properties. "They are playing Louisville moneyline, 5/1 tickets and 6/1 money. But even if Louisville wins outright, it's a blip."

The total plunged from 53.5 to 46.5 over the course of the week, again due to the Rodemaker situation.

"Tickets and money are virtually a dead heat," Shelton said.

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Florida State's quarterback situation is heavily impacting the line. The Seminoles lost Jordan Travis two weeks ago, and rumors are swirling that Tate Rodemaker could be out with a concussion.

Florida State opened -5.5 at BetMGM and is now down to -1.5, with multiple stops along the way this week. Still, spread tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on the Seminoles.

"The public is riding the College Football Playoff's top-ranked teams. We'd love for Louisville to upset Florida State and for Iowa to cover against Michigan," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

Mirroring the spread, the total plunged from a 53.5 opener to 46.5 this afternoon. Like the spread, there were stops along the way all week long. Ticket count is 2/1 and money almost 8/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Florida State (12-0 SU/7-5 ATS) overcame the absence of QB Jordan Travis to finish off a perfect regular season. A late TD helped the Seminoles get out of Gainesville with a 24-15 victory laying 6.5 points.

Louisville (10-2 SU/6-5-1 ATS) heads into the ACC championship game off a loss. The Cardinals tumbled to Kentucky 38-31 as 7.5-point home favorites.

Louisville-Florida State opened Seminoles -2.5 on TwinSpires' college football Week 14 odds board. There's no movement so far, with 55% of bets/59% of cash on the 'Noles for a neutral-site matchup in Charlotte, N.C.

The total, however, is on the move, plunging from 51.5 to 49 early on. The Under is taking 56% of bets/74% of cash.

"Lopsided money on the Under already," Lucas said.
