Florida State vs Virginia Tech Prediction
The Florida State Seminoles aren’t good enough to lay these sorts of numbers, but I can’t bring myself to side with Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech Hokies have lost six of their last nine games, and they don’t have the offense to inspire bettors. Virginia Tech has scored 64 or fewer points in each of its last three games. I doubt this is a breakout game against a Florida State defense that has a top-50 defensive field goal percentage. Oddsmakers are telling you what they think of Virginia Tech by making Florida State a double-digit favorite. Don’t love it, but if forced to pick, give me Florida State in a comfortable home win on Wednesday night.
