The Florida State Seminoles battle the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic Saturday. Kickoff from Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Germany is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Florida State vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Florida State finished 13-1 last season, including 8-0 in the ACC. After beating Louisville to win the ACC Championship, the Seminoles ultimately lost to Georgia in the Orange Bowl. It came as a shock to many for the undefeated Seminoles to miss the College Football Playoff, even with QB Jordan Travis, who is now with the New York Jets, sidelined with an injury.
Georgia Tech finished 7-6 overall, including 5-3 in the ACC last season, good for 4th in the conference. The Yellow Jackets defense was problematic last season, giving up 31 or more points on 7 different occasions. It will need to set a new tone this season to stay competitive.
Florida State is No. 10 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Florida State vs. Georgia Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Flordia State 31, Georgia Tech 17
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on No. 10 Florida State to win Saturday.
Against the spread
BET FLORIDA STATE -10.5 (-115).
While Travis left for the NFL, the Seminoles will see senior QB DJ Uiagalelei captain the offense. With experience and talent behind center, expect Florida State to get up big and never look back. WR Malik Benson will create problems for the Georgia Tech defense, while the GT offense will not be able to keep up.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 55.5 (-110).
While Florida State is expected to produce a lot of points, the toll travel will take on both sides should not be underestimated. With the first game of the season, players are seeing their first action since last year, and while it could lead to more offense, it will also lead to more missed opportunities.
