Florida State vs Georgia Tech Preview & Picks

Florida State are tipped to cover a double digit spread in Dublin.

Georgia Tech struggled badly against the run game last year, and FSU have the tools to take advantage.

They are backed to wear down the Yellow Jackets and pull away, with the defense forcing Haynes King into costly turnovers.

  • Florida State went 13-1 last season
  • Florida State won by 25 points when the teams last met in October 2022
  • The Over hit in 2 of Florida State’s 3 games in neutral venues last season
  • The Over has cashed in 9 of Georgia Tech’s last 13 games

Head To Head

  • Florida State lead the all-time series 15-11 with 1 tie
  • Florida State won 41-16 when the two teams last met in October 2022

Florida State Form

Florida State enter the 2024 College Football season with their sights set on a run to the playoffs.

The Seminoles went a perfect 13-0 during the 2023 campaign but were controversially snubbed when it came to the four-team playoffs.

They opened the season with an impressive 45-24 victory over LSU and then went a perfect 8-0 in ACC play to secure a place in the conference championship game.

Florida faced Louisville for the ACC crown and with quarterback Jordan Travis sidelined, they leant on a dominant defense to grind out a 16-6 victory.

That low-scoring win and the injury to Travis cost them a playoff place, so they wrapped up the season with a 63-3 blowout defeat to Georgia in the Orange Bowl.

Georgia Tech Form

Georgia Tech come into the new season looking to improve on a 2023 campaign that saw them go 6-6 before winning a Bowl Game.

The Yellow Jackets opened up with a 39-34 defeat to Louisville and struggled for consistency the rest of the way.

They did record some notable victories however, snatching an improbable 23-20 victory at #17 Miami FL before beating #17 North Carolina 46-42 at home.

Georgia Tech ultimate went 5-3 in ACC conference play, and that meant they missed out on a place in the championship game.

Instead the Yellow Jackets brought the curtain down on their season with a 30-17 win over UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl.

Verdict

Florida State have lost some notable players in the offseason, but they have recruited well.

A punishing run game coupled with some big defensive plays against a QB who can be careless with the football is likely to result in a win and cover for the Seminoles.
