Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Florida State Seminoles Overview

In the eyes of the betting public Florida State remains a name brand. Although perhaps a bit tarnished. FSU still carries a sportsbook cache. Especially against a team like Georgia Tech. Even in their best years, the Yellow Jackets don’t draw much public action. And the Ramblin’ Wreck hasn’t been able to profit from enhanced prices. Of great concern is the Georgia Tech makeover. Florida State’s inconsistency is covered by raw talent.
