FSU football: 3 reasons Noles cover spread, 3 reasons they don't against Georgia Tech

Haynes King Goes Off

I don't necessarily think this will happen, but Georgia Tech's quarterback is a good athlete. Haynes King can hurt teams with his legs and his arm. Where he got into trouble last year was turnovers and inaccuracy when under pressure. However, if he can get off to a good start and gain some confidence, he could try to take over the game similar to Thomas Castellanos for Boston College last year.

Granted, FSU shut him down for large portions of that game. However, here's a scenario that would scare FSU bettors. Let's say FSU had the game firmly in hand, leading 34-17 late in the fourth quarter and they pull their starters. Haynes King is good enough to lead Georgia Tech's offense on a scoring drive in gargage time to trim that lead to 34-24. If you bet FSU at -10.5, you'd lose your bet. I know that would be a punch in the gut, but it's something bettors must account for.
