Total: 55.00 | -112.00 Over
Result: Win
The set-up: It's an important ACC match-up on Monday night between the No. 20 VT Hokies and the No. 19 FSU Seminoles.
The teams: Virginia Tech was 9-4 last year and 5-3 in in league play, which was then followed by a 30-21 loss to OK State in the Camping World Bowl. Last year the Hokies averaged 28.2 PPG and allowed just 14.8. While duplicating those suffocating defensive numbers will be difficult with many of those key players gone, the pieces are still in place for another productive campaign on that side of the ball. Josh Jackson is the man under center and he finished with a 20/9 TD/INT and had 324 rushing yards as well.
Florida State went 7-6 last year and 3-5 in ACC play, followed by a loss to Southern Mississippi in the Independence Bowl. The Seminoles averaged 27.8 PPG last year and they allowed 21.2. The defense was a strength last season and it will be again this year as well with many of the starters returning. Deondre Francois is the starting QB and he missed most of last season with injury.
The pick: Take it for what you will, but VT has seen the total go "under" the number in its last two as an underdog in the 3.5 to ten points range, while FSU has seen the total go "under" in ten of its last 15 against the conference. This number is high, play the "under."
