    Va Tech at Florida St, who ya got and why?

    Last NCAAF game of the weekend boys. I have a small lean towards Va. Tech and I like under 55 in this one. My numbers show a low scoring game, FSU winning by 3ish.

    FSU retuning 6 starters on offense, 3 on defense. New coach in Willie Taggart bringing an up tempo spread offense. FSU losing 6 of it's top 7 tacklers on defense, they have a New defensive coordinator in Harlon Barnett with a new 4-2-5 scheme.

    Va Tech returning 7 offsenive starters, 5 on defense. Even with that Bud Foster has his work cut out for him. He has little to no returning experience in the Linebackers and has lost two starting corners and a safety. While the D is young and won't be as good as last year's very stout D, they're being projected as a strong unit.

    Weather wise it looks like it'll rain all afternoon and might cease around game time.

    What are your thoughts on the Total and Spread?

    I am on Virginia Tech. I think they are able to keep Florida St. offense in check and keep the game close if not win outright so 7 to 7.5 points is too much for Florida St. to lay. As for the total, I'm off that but 55 points is a lot so I lean to the under.

    I'm taking the same approach as to LSU last night. FSU has so much talent that should be showing up this year. That 16 and 17 recruiting class were right near the best. Cam Akers is a legit heisman contender if FSU turns it around. Plenty of reasons to take VT though too.

    I'm going to take the more talented team here. I'll take FSU -7 and not playing a total. 31-20

    This is Taggart's dream job. Noles embarrass hokies by double digits tonight. VA tech is young on defense and feuentez is not the offensive genius he was at Memphis. I'm waiting for the noles to get to 6-6.5

    I like fsu's decisions on offense and defense already. when youre a school thats gonna get athletes you can play fast and defensively I like the 4-2-5, thatll give qbs a lot to think about, you can mix some nice disguises in that format, blitzing corners, rovers playing linebacker to give a 4-3 look, corner double. now they just need experience.

    Good luck line is moving the other way I think.

    Last time I checked it went from 7.5 to 7. Lots of VA tech love so I'm hoping it keep coming down.

    FSU will win. Gotta hope I can get a decent live line though because at the current price it’s unbettable

    Agreed if you're on the FSU side.

    That 4-2-5 will be interesting. I'm curious to see how Va Tech responds.

    I picked up Va TEch +7.5 @ -105 and teased 6.5 pts Va Tech(+14) and the under (61.5). GL men on your wagers.

    I think I might go with the same moves Hubie. What ultimately made you decide on Virginia Tech?

    Numbers point to a 2-3 point victory for FSU at home.

    VT +7.5 is an attractive play, giving FSU a TD to work with in a close victory.

    My early season numbers show it to be a 3 pt game for FSU, with the total around 40-45. It's so early though the numbers could be off. They've been very good this weekend so far though. I've got small wagers on those.

    Also some rain down there today and with Doak being open it could be a sloppy game, the field will be very wet. Play that info as you see fit. 3-6PM there's scattered thunderstorms.

    I love FSU -4 for the first half. I think they cover the game too. I'm not buying VaTech early in the season, just yet.

    VT Defense backfield is too young and untested to trust them on the road. The Seminole D is also shallow in the backfield, especially linebackers. I think Taggert keeps his foot on the gas and Francois and Jackson make enough plays for both sides to get the o54.5 home.

    I’m blindly betting the dog not even doing a research because I don’t even know if it means anything once a game kicks off

    I like the over 54.5. Both these teams should be able to score about 35 points. God it’s great to have football back

    GL Sharp and SouthBay on your plays.
    Sharp I agree on the D being young and a bit shallow but I still like the Under.


    I took a bit more on under 55.

    Liking this over....lots of defensive questions both sides and Florida st q.b is back and I’m sure he’s going to want to make a statement. Complete new teams from years past.

    Added VTech TT o23. The more I look the less I trust the FSU D line to carry the weight for 60 minutes.
