CFB Odds – Florida State vs. Georgia Tech Same Game Parlay Recap

The Week 0 same game college football parlay in the ACC matchup between the Florida State Seminoles and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets was a huge success. Opening as an 11.5-point favorite at BetMGM the Noles closed still laying double figures at -10. Not only did they fail to cover the college football betting line, FSU lost outright, 24-21, in the first major upset of the season. 

Expected to use the end to the 2023 season as a rallying cry, the Noles instead saw their hopes for inclusion in the expanded college football playoff take a serious blow. And it was largely because a majority of the roster wasn’t around last season when the Noles finished undefeated during the regular year, won the ACC title and were snubbed by the committee.

Backing the Jackets and the points was a smart play. Sure they finished last season at 7-6, but they had two conference wins over ranked opponents Miami and North Carolina. They also had a pair of ACC wins over ranked UNC and Pitt in 2022. In addition the Jackets beat FSU, 16-13, in 2020 as a 13-point NCAAF betting odds underdog. Following their victory Georgia Tech has won three of four meetings between the programs.

For all the attention he gets I have to admit FSU quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei has been underwhelming in his career. He had a few good games at Clemson but eventually lost the starting job leading him to transfer to Oregon State. He had a career-high in passing yards last season but completed only 57.1 percent of his throws. He had a better outing last week completing 19 of 27 attempts but totaled only 193 yards on mostly shorter throws. The offense lacked a home run play and totaled just 291 yards leading to the teams to cash the UNDER on the football odds total of 54.5.

Betting on College Football – Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 

The Yellow Jackets profile as a team that could sneak up on somebody this year. They played one heck of a game against rival Georgia and gave the Bulldogs a legitimate scare. They won on the road at Miami and gave Louisville a real game in the season opener. It was clear that the offense was quite a bit better with Texas A&M transfer Haynes King at the controls, and he’s back for Round 2.

Duke’s loss may very well be Georgia Tech’s gain. Former Blue Devils DC Tyler Santucci will try to fix a defense that allowed over 200 yards per game through the air and on the ground. Returning starters are always hard to quantify from a bad unit, especially when learning a new scheme, but Santucci is a Mike Elko disciple, and that cannot hurt.

NCAA Football – Florida State Seminoles

DJ Uiagalelei, the former Clemson QB, is back in the ACC after a pretty good College Football Betting run at Oregon State. Head coach Jonathan Smith went to Michigan State, and Uiagalelei flew south for the fall and winter. It is still hard to think about what transpired at the end of the season for the Seminoles last year, but no team is more motivated to right a wrong this year.

Jordan Travis was hurt in a meaningless game against North Alabama, but the Seminoles rallied to beat rival Florida and Louisville in the ACC Title Game. Their prize was a matchup against an angry Georgia team in the Orange Bowl, as the College Football Playoff Committee shunned Mike Norvell’s team. This isn’t the same roster, and Travis has moved on, but the goal remains the same.

OC Alex Atkins is suspended for the first three games due to recruiting violations, but he’s had all spring and summer to work with DJU and the others in the QB room. A proven QB seemed to be a necessity for Atkins and Norvell and they got one, but now let’s see how he’s progressed under Smith’s tutelage.

He has all kinds of weapons, as Keon Coleman and Trey Benson are gone, but this is a fast and talented group of backs and receivers. Roydell Williams ran for Alabama last year, and Lawrance Toafili had 6.7 yards per pop in support of Benson. The loss of a borderline first-rounder like Coleman is a big deal but look for the Seminoles to rely even heavier on the run after leading the conference in 2022 with well over 200 yards per game.

The Seminoles are the favorite to win the ACC, as they’ll get Clemson at home and have a little extra prep before facing Miami. DJU will determine the ceiling for this team, as a ground-and-pound attack with a top-tier defense leads to a very high floor.

As usual, too much public money will be on the name brand Florida State team.  Georgia Tech is an improved team with an enhanced NCAA Vegas Odds price.  Look for a low-scoring team as the teams work out the kinks offensively.
