Florida State at Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech thought they had a national championship caliber team coming into the season. Those hopes were quickly dispatched in game one with a three point loss to Boise State. That loss hit them hard. They then were no-shows at home losing to James Madison. This is a team that could of easily mailed in the rest of the season, but with Frank Beamer on the sidelines you knew that was out of the question. The Hokies proceeded to run the table in their remaining ten games to land a spot in the ACC Championship game. They won nine of the ten by double-digits, with the closest game a 7-point win vs. Georgia Tech. The Seminoles were exposed early in a 30-point loss to Oklahoma. They lost back-to-back games vs. Carolina and NC State, and had a close call with Clemson prevailing by just 3 points. The Hokies are the better team and they are the choice here as they have dominated in conference with a 39-15 ATS mark in their last 54 (Big East included). They have gone 14-3 ATS in their last 17 as a favorite. Under Beamer, this team is 35-14 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points. The Hokies have been on a mission since those back-to-back losses and I think it continues here. I like Virginia Tech in this one.
