Why Florida State can cover
Florida State is in an ideal scheduling spot on Saturday afternoon, as it is coming off a bye week. The Seminoles posted back-to-back road wins against Boston College and Clemson, maintaining their status as the top team in the conference. They are averaging 43.3 points per game, and they are expected to have wide receivers Ja'Khi Douglas and Deuce Spann back in the mix on Saturday.
Douglas has yet to play in a game due to a preseason injury, while Spann missed the game against Clemson due to an illness. That has not stopped quarterback Jordan Travis from racking up 1,028 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception. Florida State has covered the spread in 14 of its last 20 games, including five straight against ACC Coastal opponents.
Why Virginia Tech can cover
Virginia Tech snapped a nine-game losing streak to Power 5 opponents with its 38-21 win over Pittsburgh as a 3-point underdog last week. Quarterback Kyron Drones completed 12 of 19 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns, adding 21 carries for 41 yards and two scores. He earned ACC Quarterback of the Week honors following that performance.
The Hokies stepped up defensively as well, recording four sacks against Pittsburgh, with Pheldarius Payne accounting for 1.5 of them. Florida State is coming off its big win at Clemson and has games looming against Syracuse and Duke, making this a potential trap game on the schedule. The Seminoles have only covered the spread once in the last five meetings between these teams. See which team to pick here.
