JET LAG FOR BOTH TEAMS

The first games of the college football season can be a bit sloppy at times. It could be even worse as both Florida State and Georgia Tech will have to endure the traveling to Dublin, Ireland.

That could be a big, exhausting trip for the teams as first-game jitters could impact the unproven rosters. However, it is possible that head football coaches Mike Norvell and Brent Key could have their teams ready.

Florida State introducing so many newcomers who have not played together in a competitive setting. The only time that they have participated is in practice against themselves. Traditionally, as first games go, the offenses for both teams could be questionable early on.

As long as both teams don't have costly turnovers or special teams blunders, the under should be a relatively safe assumption. I would feel comfortable taking the under-up until it falls to 51.5. That is where I would get hesitant.
