Fla State/Ga Tech Pick
Fla State -14
Ga Tech does not belong here. They have a hurt RB. They will try to run, which is their only chance, but FLA STATE has a great run d. Also, the ACC would not let this crappy GA Tech team go to the Orange Bowl. Fla State probably got the call to take no chances here. Who knows what kind of call GA Tech got? Maybe they do not call, but the ACC has a big stake in this one. Fla State has to win here and will win big. No chances this one is close at all.
I normally do not like laying point but this is a huge mismatch. Fla State wins by 20+.

Georgia Tech hasn't had a problem scoring this year. It's been their defense that gets them beat. With FSU coming off a terrible loss I'm thinking they may be a little flat for this game. Laying fourteen points smells like trouble to me. I'm sure Georgia Tech will lay down since I need them to hit a parlay today!!

I get your points but I will say if you feel Fla St will be flat then one could just as likely feel Ga Tech will come in flat. Both teams had tough games last week vs. their rivals. I see no advantage in that for either team.
Smith and his 9 yrds per carry is going to be on the bench. Fla state can stop the run. Ga Tech is one dimensional. Fla state is exactly the kind of team that can slow down the run. Fla state is exactly the kind of team that can put up 40-50 points on this weak defense.
just my opinion. you have money on the line so I wish you GL!
