Georgia Tech Basketball vs Florida State: Spread and Score Predictions

Florida State comes into Atalanta as a favorite today

There are only three games left for Georgia Tech before the beginning of the ACC Tournament and today will be the final home game of the year for the Yellow Jackets. 

Georgia Tech is looking to win back-to-back ACC games for the first time all season and they will have to do so as underdogs today. Florida State is going to be a 2.5-point favorite in Atlanta, but I think there is a decent chance for an upset today. It is hard to trust Georgia Tech to be consistent and win back-to-back ACC games, but the Yellow Jackets have played well against Florida State over the past few years. 

Georgia Tech has won four of the last six games in the series, but the Seminoles took the first of two scheduled meetings this season with an 82-71 decision on Jan. 3 in Tallahassee.

Since FSU joined the ACC, Tech is 23-32 against the Seminoles. Florida State won the first six in a row, Tech followed by winning five straight, and is 18-26 against the Seminoles since then.

In those 55 games, 23 have been decided by four points or less, 34 by fewer than 10 points. One of those games went to double-overtime, which the Yellow Jackets won 111-108 on Feb. 11, 1999 in Tallahassee.

Florida State is also not playing the best coming into this game. They won five straight games beginning with its Jan. 3 victory over Tech, but the Seminoles have gone 4-7 since then, sweeping a pair of games against Boston College, winning at Syracuse, and defeating NC State at home. FSU is 4-4 on the road in conference play this season, having won at Notre Dame, Miami, Syracuse, and Boston College.

I am going to roll with the Yellow Jackets to get a win on Senior Day. Kyle  Sturdivant has a big day in his final game in McCamish Pavillion and Baye Ndongo records a double-double as Georgia Tech gets the win. 

Final Score: Georgia Tech 75, Florida State 71
