#27 Posted: 12/1/2012 12:20:41 AM QUOTEWell, let's look behind those stats. UGA pulled their offensive starters in the 3rd quarter and put the lid on the offense, they could have had another 175 pretty easily. GT was down 42-3 when UGA pulled the defensive starters, and about 100 of those yards for GT were in garbage time and another 80 on their opening drive which ended with a fumble.
The question with GT is never the offense moving the ball on the ground and getting those yards, now winning the time of possession stat, it is the weak defense and the inability to throw the ball, particularly when they are behind. FSU wins but the first half will be closer than most think as they get confused by the TO.

Would love to see an outright win but I think they come up a little short. 
Georgia Tech - Over 
How is that over 61?

FSU lost the UF game for one, very clear reason. E J Manuel. His 4 turn-overs sealed the deal for UF. Manuel showed his true QB colors. He will always be remembered for the UF game and as a second level FSU QB.
His 4 turnovers had nothing to do with the defense? 3 interceptions and a fumble on a sack, and it had nothing to do with the defense? What was it, special teams? |

Georgia Tech is not Florida, Georgia Tech is a .500 team that is one dimensional. I feel this is a complete mismatch, and Florida State -13.5 is a steal. I know Fla. St. hasn't been great away from home, but I would take -13.5 if they played on the moon. GL everyone! im with the chief |

#32 Posted: 12/1/2012 8:34:21 AM A triple option attack against one of the best defenses in the nation. And the total is 61? Hmm...
I think the oddsmakers are telling you they expect a "close" game... |

Good point! They could be expecting a 48-14 type of game too, either way I'd be hesitant to play a total on this game... |

I just don't think it will be like that... What did FSU do to Wake after losing to NC State...that's right...and that's what you will see on Saturday...but, go ahead and take the Jackets, if you wish...
Thanks for the advice. I made a few bucks...could've made more if I wouldn't have given your words any weight. My fault for listening to a joker. Smaller play than I would've liked, but Ga Tech paid tonight.
