Florida State vs. Georgia Tech Prediction & Betting Tips - August 24 | College Football Week 0
The 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets kick off the 2024 college football season in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. This game will take place at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday afternoon.
Florida State won the ACC Championship last season before losing 63-3 in the Orange Bowl to the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia Tech finished the season 7-6 and was able to win the Gasparilla Bowl against the UCF Knights last season, 30-17.
Florida State vs. Georgia Tech Prediction
The Florida State Seminoles are clearly the better team throughout the season and they will have some adjustments to make after seeing significant players leave from last season.
For Georgia Tech, they have junior quarterback Haynes King under center once again and he finished with a 73.2 QBR with 27 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 2023.
The Yellow Jackets defense struggled a year ago as they allowed 30.5 points per game and that is something that is going to pop up in this game. The Seminoles have a great defensive team that was sixth in the nation with just 15.9 points per game allowed.
The Seminoles still have a great team and with transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei becoming the starter, they should have a distinct advantage here. Expect the Florida State Seminoles to cover the spread as they are clearly the better overall team in this matchup and it is not relatively close.
