Florida State (12-5) vs Georgia Tech (8-10)
Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 12:00 pm
My selection is on Georgia Tech plus the points over Florida State at 12 noon ET on Saturday.
Georgia Tech is certainly in need of a bounce-back effort, having dropped three straight games both outright and against the spread, including a frustrating 70-59 home loss to Clemson on Tuesday. While the Yellow Jackets have struggled recently, this matchup provides an opportunity to respond positively against a Florida State squad that has been inconsistent throughout the season.
The Seminoles are riding high after an 'upset' win over Pitt at home on Wednesday. However, with just one day of preparation before this contest, they could be vulnerable to a letdown against a motivated opponent. Georgia Tech, on the other hand, has had an extra day to regroup and focus on this matchup.
Given Florida State's up-and-down performance and Georgia Tech's determination to end its skid, I anticipate the Yellow Jackets to hang tough throughout this game and keep things competitive.
Take Georgia Tech. Projected score: Florida State 71, Georgia Tech 68.
Sean’s Pick Georgia Tech: +9.5 -111
