The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets won their first conference game of the season by upsetting Wake Forest on Saturday, and we they may of may not beat the Florida State Seminoles outright tonight, we do expect them to take this game down to the wire.

Georgia Tech was off to an 0-6 start in the ACC before shocking the Demon Deacons, and they were a bit fortunate to be catching Wake Forest in a post-Duke letdown situation. The thing is, the Yellow Jackets may be in a similarly fortunate situation tonight!

You see, Florida State is coming off of an emotional game here at home vs. North Carolina where the Seminoles played their hearts out, only to fall just short in an 80-77 loss as 11-point underdogs. It seems virtually impossible for them to be able to match that kind of intensity here, so a lethargic effort seems inevitable, especially in the first half.

Besides, it is not as if the Jackets do not have any merit here despite their poor conference record, especially on the defensive end. According to the Pomeroy Ratings, the Georgia Tech defense ranks in the Top 40 in adjusted defensive efficiency, effective field goal percentage allowed and two-point field goal percentage allowed, and they also rank highly in blocks.

We look for that defense to contain a rather disinterested Noles team here en route to the cover.
