Florida State +4

Florida State +4 Like them tomorrow. I see this as an even matchup. If there is such a thing as momentum leading to confidence, FSU has it after close crucial wins vs Clemson and Maryland and them blowing out rival Florida 31-7 Va Tech is susceptible to the run and FSU runs the ball very well. I think this should be a tight game going either way. Note Va tech has not played a tough schedule FSU 26 Va Tech 24

fyi possible heavy snow forecast for this game FSU can run the ball so dont think this just kills them, but o/u at 52, which is fine in fair weather

Ponder, bad shoulder, not expected to start EJ Manuel is pretty good though

Manuel is a good player, tall with a good arm, was a highly prized 5 star recruit played a little late LY, but was injured himself at the time looked good this year, good arm good runner Since Ponder has not been 100% for a long time, hard to say FSU is worse with EJ EJ is more interception prone, but thats because Ponder throws few of them. All in all, I'll look to take FSU later +5 now and could go up more

gametime decision, Ponder could start

appearances indicate EJ Manuel is starting. Ponder also warming up, EJ playing with first string

I bet under 52 ( earlier) its cold, rainy, FSU starting QB who could struggle a bit against a good pass defense. FSU will probably run a good deal working on that clock keeping 1 unit on FSU but kinda worried about it
