Florida State vs. Virginia Tech Prediction
I’m on Virginia Tech here. The Hokies are a better team than what we’ve seen in recent games, and are the much more consistent team shooting the rock, especially at the free throw line. I just think this is a spot where the Hokies win and cover late at the foul line. Should be a great game, but I’m taking Virginia Tech laying the points.
