Betting on Florida State Seminoles
From the offensive end, Florida will bring back seven of their players. Last season, the Seminoles managed to hold an average of 28 points per game with the same offense. When it came to running, they covered an average of 141 points per game and 267 throwing yards. Surprisingly, the Seminoles managed to surrender the same 28 points on average, but they gave up 147 ground yards and 277 yards in the air. The Seminoles will need to focus on getting past some of the big teams in the ACC Atlantic right from the start of the season.
Betting on Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were unsatisfied with their performance last year, especially when they completed at the bottom of the ACC Coastal Conference play. The Yellow Jackets were 2-6 with their conference record and 3-9 with their overall games. Georgia Tech can only hope for a better season this year as they bring back 10 of their offensive starters to the squad. Last year, they suffered to get past opponents when they scored just 16 points on average per game. When it came to throwing, they covered 133 yards on average while they ran for 152 yards.
From the defensive end, the Yellow Jackets are bringing back seven of their starters. The defensive unit was weaker than their offensive unit as they surrendered a total of 32 points to opponents. The Yellow Jackets gave up 207 yards per game with their passing defense and 215 yards on the ground. The odds were not in favor for Georgia last season, and with no major changes, this year might not be exceptional either.
Florida State Seminoles vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Pick
Florida State Seminoles vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The College Football betting pick for this match is Florida State Seminoles -12. There is no doubt that the Seminoles are a better team than Georgia with their defense intact. The Yellow Jackets will not stand a chance against Florida’s defense.
