The team gave up 37 points\u201424 of which came in the fourth quarter\u2014and they proved that they\u2019re not worthy of BCS title contention this year.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"CFB Picks\" href=\"\/handicappers\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>CLICK TO GRAB OUR Expert CFB Picks for 2012 NCAA FOOTBALL Betting!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In that game, the offensive line didn\u2019t do their job. They gave up eight sacks and they only played well enough to help their rushing game get 112 yards. The front line must protect E.J. Manuel better against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but the truth is, their performance against Florida was an anomaly, and they will enter the contest against GT as the favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Florida State\u2019s offensive line needs to step up, but it\u2019s their defensive line that truly needs to be on top of their game. Georgia Tech will run the ball all game long, and the d-line must be ready. On the season, FSU has been outstanding against the run, as they\u2019ve given up just 85.1 yards per game, which is good enough for fourth in the country. If you contain the Yellow Jackets\u2019 running game, you contain their offense.<\/p>\n<p>The Seminoles are one of the most dynamic two-way teams in college football. They score 41.5 points per game (8th in the nation), they allow just 15.1 points per game (7th in the nation) and they are going to be one of the biggest challenges Georgia Tech faces this season.<br \/>\n[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets played well enough this year to earn a 6-6 record, as well as a spot in the ACC championship, but the truth is that they wouldn\u2019t even be in this game if it weren\u2019t for a bowl ban that made the Miami Hurricanes ineligible.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, this team has struggled all year. They\u2019ve given up 30.7 points per game, which is only good enough for 30.7 points. They\u2019re better against the run than they are against the pass, but against a balanced Florida State attack that goes for more than 200 yards on the ground and more than 270 yards through the air, they have to be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, this team is going to try and run you out of the stadium with their ground game. They are the third-best running team in the country, which counters their non-existent passing game.<\/p>\n<p>This matchup is going to come down to one of the best running games versus one of the best running defenses. Florida State has been the better team all season, and that notion\u2019s not likely to change in the ACC championship. The Seminoles fit the mold of a BCS team much better than Georgia Tech does this year, and it would be a huge upset if the Yellow Jackets were able to pull off a victory this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seminoles are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games.<br \/>\n\u2022Over is 3-0-1 in Seminoles last 4 games overall.<br \/>\n\u2022Over is 3-0-1 in Seminoles last 4 games on grass.<br \/>\n\u2022Over is 3-0-1 in Seminoles last 4 games following a ATS loss.<br \/>\n\u2022 Over is 5-1 in Yellow Jackets last 6 games following a S.U. loss.<br \/>\n\u2022Over is 4-1 in Yellow Jackets last 5 games following a ATS loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>O\/U Pick: Over 62.5<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Score Prediction: Florida State 41 \u2013 Georgia Tech 20<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminoles vs Yellow Jackets NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the No. 13 Florida State Seminoles are both coming off brutal losses to in-state rivals, but both also have a chance to redeem themselves in the ACC championship.
