The big matchup to kick off the season is finally here. Georgia Tech and Florida State are just one day away from starting the 2024 college football season with their big matchup in Dublin, Ireland. Florida State is the favorite, but the spread has been shrinking and there are some out there that think Georgia Tech is in a prime position to pull off this upset. They have an explosive offense, an improved defensive coaching staff, and they have shown the ability under Brent Key to pull off upsets vs ranked opponents. Will they be able to do that on Saturday against the defending ACC Champions? Here is how our staff is predicting the game will go on Saturday afternoon in Ireland.
