After all of the big upsets yesterday, I don’t feel great about picking a road team, but I think the Seminoles will find a way to pull this cover off. FSU has played a rough schedule over the last few weeks and will be looking forward to the chance of not having to grind out a win. Tech can’t compete with FSU on offense. While Tech has a good defense, FSU’s offensive talent will be too much for even it to stop.
