Virginia Tech Hokies vs Florida State Seminoles prediction
I’m not thrilled with either of these teams, as Virginia Tech can be hit or miss with their offense, while FSU has had issues across the board and has a handful of bad losses. This is the worst Florida State team we’ve seen in a while. On paper Virginia Tech is the more talented team and has been more consistent, especially against better competition. Only laying a bucket. Give me the Hokies.
