Oddsmakers currently have the Seminoles listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Yellow Jackets, while the game’s total is sitting at 58½.

Justin Thomas is the leading passer and rusher for the Yellow Jackets, but he has plenty of help on the ground in the form of Zach Laskey (748 yards, eight TDs) and Synjyn Days (686 yards, three TDs). Overall, Georgia Tech ranks fourth in the nation with an average of 333.8 rushing yards per game, and that domination was on display last Saturday, when the Yellow Jackets posted 399 rushing yards on a staggering 70 carries – led by Laskey (26 carries, 140 yards) against Georgia. DeAndre Smelter (35 catches, 715 yards) is the only Georgia Tech player with more than 16 catches or 255 receiving yards, so he will certainly be the focus for the Seminoles’ secondary.

Last time out for Georgia Tech, they were a 30-24 winner as they battled Georgia on the road. Georgia Tech covered in the match as a 10.5-point underdog, while 54 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

The Seminoles have won six games by single diigts, including each of the last three, and Winston has thrown an interception in six straight games, giving him a disappointing 21-to-17 touchdown-to-interception ratio this season. “Very few guys have that true ability and he’s one of them,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said of Winston, who has thrown 13 of his picks in the first half. “We’re fortunate enough to have him.” Florida State’s current winning streak – the longest in school history – began with a 21-15 win over Georgia Tech in the 2012 ACC title game, when the Seminoles’ defense limited the Yellow Jackets quarterbacks to 5-of-16 passing, including two interceptions.
