Why Florida has you covered
Florida State lost some offensive stars from last year's roster to the NFL, but they did add to their roster with the addition of Oregon State graduate DJ Uiagalelei, who has a 30-10 record in 48 career games with Clemson and Oregon State. Uiagalelei's first start for the Seminoles is a favorable matchup, as Georgia Tech was one of the ACC's weakest defensive teams last season.
Head coach Mike Norvell added two impactful transfers from Alabama in running back Roydell Williams and wide receiver Malik Benson, both of whom are atop the roster heading into Saturday's game. Georgia Tech led the ACC in rushing attack last season, but the Yellow Jackets will face an elite Florida State defensive line. The Seminoles have won 12 straight games against ACC opponents, but the Yellow Jackets are just 1-5 in their opening games over the past six seasons. Find out which team to pick here.
Why Georgia Tech has you covered
One of Florida State's biggest strengths is its defensive line, but Georgia Tech returns four of its five starting offensive linemen from last season. The Yellow Jackets also have starting quarterback Haynes King returning under center after throwing for 2,842 yards and 27 touchdowns passing last season. King added 737 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns, so he'll be a tough player for Florida State to prepare for as the season begins.
Starting running back Jamal Haynes and starter wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. also return, giving the Yellow Jackets an experienced offensive line. Florida State replaced its top quarterback, running back and wide receiver from last season, so the new guys will need some time to gel this year. Georgia Tech is 8-1 against the spread in its last nine games against FSU, including covering in five of its final six games last season. You can find out which teams to pick here.
