FSU...not sure if i'm getn down on this game yet. havent had a chance to research it but if i take anything its going to be FSU. coming off a bye they will be focused.they play maryland next week so they wont look past the overrated Vatech team. i realize VATECH didnt show up last week & are a different team at home but for 2 years they have been on my list of teams that i will never bet because coach beamer is a moron & he & the team are a bunch of mental midgets. FSU will force Logan to continue to make bone head decisions/turnovers. should be easy money

Florida state coming off a bye. Huge mismatch between a ridiculously good florida state defense and an assbad va tech offense. This one will be a laugher. Florida state all day all night in this one. Florida state is number 4 in my rankings, and will prove it this week.

Not sure Florida State "easy money" or game a "laughter." In 2010, VT 44 to 33 vs. FSU.  Also, Florida State only 3-5 ATS and 0-3 vs. spread on the road.  VT always "tough" vs. FSU.  Took 13.5 with Virginia Tech on 3-team parlay...but straight up bet will wait for Gold Sheet's analysis tomorrow night.  BOL

Totally agree, FSU defense is a monster VT hasnt seen all year, Logan Thomas will throw a couple picks the VT defense will keep them in the game early but second half the superior team will win, im like the under in this game but i also have FSU winning by 14-20 late but for now ill take the under as VT will struggle to score

Been an FSU fan for many many years.. You do not want to invest a lot of money on the Seminoles people.. this team is so up and down, inconsistent etc... I think it just goes with being a Seminole.. You just don't know what you're gonna get. EVER... stay away imo..

GO NOLES

This number is solid and will get action from both sides. It's perfect, really - low enough if you're a Seminole backer to bet it....

But when is the last time you got this many points on a Va Tech home game?

You don't walk into Lane stadium on a Thursday night and expect to get a victory. Very tough to do, even off a bye.

Va Tech + 14 all day long.

I don't see Virg. Tech. Doing much with Fla. ST. with their speed & aggression. I think V-tech. will make some big time mistakes greated by Fla. ST. boys. V-tech is so up and down, unpredictable. Fla.ST. boy will do what Clem-son's did create problems. I will give up the points and say V-tech. is on a down spin. We all have watched both play and they're going in opposite direction as I  it. I really like Fla.ST boys special team better and that creates alot of posssesion time and points. Fla.ST. --- the points.

Vtech a much different team on the road (i.e. very shitty).

They're much better at home and FSU has burned me a couple times failing to cover against poor teams (i.e. the South Florida game).

I'll take Vtech and the +14.5. Thursday night home dogs are generally the best bet anyway.

I'm sure in 2010 VT was just the better team, but not in 2012. Who cares about score of the last game they played. I can tell you hey, FSU beat VT in 1988, 41-14! Soooooooo. And as far as the ats is concerned, FSU is 3-5 and VT is 2-7. Hmmm, who's ats record is better? Bottom line, FSU will cover the spread.

Guys,lets not get crazy about how good Forida St.defense is.

They are only as good as the teams they have played,and who have they really played on their schedule.

Not one of the most difficult schedules.

Outside of Clemson(Who i'm not impressed with),what quality team have they beaten on their schedule?

Your right none,because they haven't played any quality teams.

I'm taken the points and Va.Tech

I'm from B'burg so Tech is my team.  These paroles they rounded up and put in VT uniforms are ridiculous this year.  Someone noted VT beating FSU in 2010.  These ass clowns are a far cry from any Hokie team I've ever seen.  Logan Thomas' only asset is he is tall.  He's slow, undecisive, bad decision maker.  Run game is non existent.  Defense is pourous.  Playing in Lane stadium used to actually hold a home field advantage.  Not anymore.  They were even getting beat down by Duke 21-0 in the 1st qtr.  This game ''Should" look like the Clemson result.  Clemson tried to keep it close 1H, then I hammered Clemson for the 2nd half.  I'm well aware FSU doesn't cover on the road, but blow up at home.  It is easier to blow VT out by 28 or more than to shave points trying to keep it within 2 touchdowns.  Any other result would be just that- point shaving or laying down.

That's funny how you're saying FSU hasn't played any quality teams. I'm guessing Va Tech must be a "quality" team. You're also not impressed with them beating Clemson who beat VT by 21 points. You gotta be kidding me!

okay fellas stop over-analyzing again that's why you are not making as much $$$$ as the other guy.  FSU by 3TDs and you can take that to the bank.

Gold Sheet's Analysis on Florida State vs. Virginia Tech:
 
Florida St. 30 -- Virginia Tech 23
 
With 4-5 VT now fighting just to become bowl eligible for 20th straight season, would side with desperate but still-dangerous Hokies, who are 4-0 as Blacksburg underdog since 2001 (66 - 12 SU at home during that span.) 
 
FSU QB EJ Manuel won't easily outduel VT's dual-threat QB Logan Thomas vs. Hokies tight covering secondary (only 51%, 9 ints).  So no surprise to see FSU fall to 0 - 4 as road chalk.
 
Virginia Tech +13.5
 
Since Gold Sheet almost word-for-word with my last post, have decided to "man up" and take VT +13.5...even if blown out by FSU
