GEORGIA TECH vs FLORIDA STATE PREDICTION PICK
Georgia Tech probably doesn’t deserve to be in this Championship game but they do have a few good wins this season. Florida State lost to the Yellow Jackets earlier this season in a game they shot just 21% from three-point land and 61% from the foul line. The Yellow Jackets play much better at home than they do on the road. The same goes for Florida State but the Seminoles are much more talented. The Seminoles have more offensive talent, more size, more depth, better rebounding, and tougher defense compared to the Yellow Jackets. FSU will be much more prepared this time around to earn this ACC championship compared to last season when it was just handed to them due to the covid shutdown. The Bookie is taking the Florida State Seminoles to cover the spread to win the ACC title.
