Analysis: The Florida state Seminoles come in with a 12-0 record and a number 2 ranking in the national playoff rankings. The Noles have not been all that impressive this year as they have gone 3-9 ATS for the year and have won their last 3 games by just 5 points or less. The Noles are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games in December and 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 neutral site games, but just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games on grass. FSU has been a decent offensive team this year, ranking 49th in total yards, 13th in passing, 104th in rushing and 31st in scoring (34.6 ppg). The defense for FSU has been solid this year, ranking 48th in total yards allowed, 63rd vs the pass, 42nd vs the run and 27th in points allowed (22 ppg).
The Georgia Tech Yellow jackets have had a nice year so far, going 10-2, which includes an OT road win over Georgia last week. The Yellow Jackets won the Coastal Division of the ACC by one game over Duke. The Yellow Jackets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game, and 3-0-2 ATS the last 5 in this series, but just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in December. Georgia Tech has been a very good offensive squad this year, ranking 24th in total yards, 122nd in passing, 4th in rushing and 17th in scoring (37.2 ppg). The defense for this team has been decent, ranking 59th in total yards allowed, 58th vs the pass, 72nd vs the run and 43rd in points allowed (24.1 ppg).
Pick: I will look at the Under in this one. The Yellow Jackets are a running team and with their triple option they can control the clock, just like they did last week vs Georgia. They need to if they home to keep the explosive Noles on the sidelines. We also not that Georgia Tech may run even more now that their number 1 WR is out for this one. On Defense the Noles have been solid this year, allowing just 22 ppg on the year, while giving up just 20.5 ppg in their last 4 games. The Yellow Jackets have been sneaky good on defense this year, especially of late allowing just 15.8 ppg in their last 4 games and Florida State has struggled of late on offense averaging just 22 ppg in their last 2 games. Both teams can score, but both defenses are good enough to keep the explosive plays a minimum meaning both teams will have to use plenty of clock if they scored. This one could be played in the 40s.
