The No. 10 Florida State Seminoles and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets kick off the 2024-25 college football season in Dublin as the first of four games on the Week 0 slate.
The ACC added three new teams this season, but my Florida State vs. Georgia Tech predictions with odds from the best college football betting sites cover two of the conference's stalwarts.
The Seminoles are the reigning ACC champions and the only ranked team in action on the Week 0 slate. They are out to prove that last year's undefeated regular season was no fluke. Georgia Tech seeks its second consecutive season finishing over .500 since 2013-14.

Florida State vs. Georgia Tech prediction: Week 0
While FSU enters this game as a College Football Playoff contender coming off its first 13-win season since 2014, Georgia Tech is the more experienced team.
The Yellow Jackets return 82.5% of their offensive production (fourth in the ACC) from a team that led the conference with nearly 204 rushing yards per game. In addition, quarterback Haynes King is in rarified air as the only returning Power 5 quarterback who threw for 2,500-plus yards and ran for 700-plus yards last season (Heisman winner Jayden Daniels was the other).
King led the ACC in passing touchdowns (27) and touchdowns responsible for (37) and was second in total yards per game (275.3). He is a big reason the Yel low Jackets shortened from 13.5-point underdogs at most of our best sports betting apps earlier this summer. However, the value is not gone with the underdogs at +11, as a neutral-site game in Dublin should be a great equalizer of any talent gap between these teams.
Three of the last four college football games played in Ireland (dating back to 2014) were decided by three or fewer points, and the 52.38% implied probability for Georgia Tech to cover is worth taking. I am risking $10 on the underdogs, who would pay $19.09 if they cover the spread.

Florida State vs. Georgia Tech player prop
Uiagalelei improved his Total QBR from 65 in 2022 with Clemson to 81 in 2023 with Oregon State. However, he also threw one fewer touchdown (21 compared to 22) despite increasing air yards per attempt from 8.5 to 10.7.
With this being Uiagalelei's third new system in three years, it will take him time to adjust to a new offense, especially one that is breaking in seven new starters. Three of the four returnees are on the offensive line, which suggests the Seminoles will rely on the running game early in the season. Uiagalelei's teams have also been known to use his 252-pound frame near the goal line, as he has scored 13 rushing touchdowns in the last two seasons.
FanDuel is the only shop offering plus-money odds on this Under, and is the best value considering bet365's -115 odds also carry a 53.49% implied probability. And consid ering the latter has +125 anytime touchdown odds for Uiagalelei, that also diminishes his value from a passing touchdowns perspective.
FanDuel's +106 odds would pay $10.60 in profit on a winning $10 wager.
Best odds: +106 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 48.54%
