#631 ASA FREE PLAY ON Georgia Tech +8.5 over Florida State, Tuesday at 8:30 PM ET - We like GT to be a sneaky good team this year. They began the season losing in 4 OT’s to a very solid Georgia State team (probably the best team in the Sun Belt) and then played poorly 2 days after that energy draining game losing to a surprising Mercer team that is currently 6-0. Since that the Jackets have beaten Kentucky by 17 and won @ Nebraska by 11. They return 5 of their top 6 players from a team that went 17-14 a year ago. They start 4 seniors and a junior so experience is not a problem. Tech closed out last season with some serious momentum winning 9 of their last 12 games and had some impressive wins during the season over UNC, Louisville, and NC State (twice). They have solid offensive and defensive efficiency numbers and like to play slow which will limit possessions here. They also get to the FT line a lot (over 21% of their points come from the line) which is something we like when looking at an underdog. Tech has also had a week off to get ready for this one. Meanwhile, FSU is coming off two huge games beating Indiana in OT last Wednesday and then topping arch rival Florida on Saturday. While we expect the Noles to be very solid this year, they did lose 4 of their top rotation players from last year’s team and this is a very tough spot for them vs an undervalued team in our opinion. The dog has dominated this ACC series covering 21 of the last 30 meetings and we think this one goes to the wire. Take Georgia Tech + the points.
