The Florida State Seminoles’ bizarre season enters another stage tonight. And bizarre things have often happened to FSU on Thursday night.

The Seminoles are a mediocre 5-4 in these games, mandated as part of the ESPN contract with the ACC. All but one of FSU’s Thursday night games have been on the road, where they have lost some dramatic games.

But this one against the North Carolina Tar Heels is a must-win scenario if FSU is to prolong hope of a winning season.

The problem is the Tar Heels have been pointing to this game as a chance to showcase their program under Butch Davis.

For those making college football picks on this one, the Heels are listed as 3-point favorites.

While the Seminoles still have a strong offense led by quarterback Christian Ponder, the defense ranks as the league’s worst and is allowing 28 points per game.

Florida State leads the all-time series 14-1-1.
