Pick - Spread
Florida State -12.5 (-110)
Best Odds -110
The summer buzz will focus on how much Florida State lost from last year’s team robbed of a Playoff spot, and understandably so, given the Seminoles return only 58% of last year’s production. But do not overlook how deep of a roster Mike Norvell has built in his five years in Tallahassee. Brent Key will never enjoy such talent at Georgia Tech, and he certainly does not after just one year. Norvell is one of the best game callers in the country, so anytime he has more than a week to prep, he should be given some further credit. Until this spread crosses two touchdowns, trust in Norvell and trust in Florida State’s talent make this an easy choice.

SMU -21.5 (-110)
Best Odds -27 -110
SMU transitions to the ACC this season and while the move to a Power Five (now Four) conference hasn't gone smoothly for some other programs in recent years, not many teams are the Mustangs. They leave the AAC as the reigning champs and return almost every key player from that roster, including quarterback Preston Stone. But these Ponies are powered by defense. This unit ranked sixth in defensive success rate and seventh in EPA last season and their front seven led byElijah Roberts will be a problem for a Nevada offensive line that ranked 121st in sacks allowed per game. Once we get closer to kickoff I'll probably look at SMU on the first half spread or Nevada to go Under its team total, but for now I'm laying the points with the Ponies on a number that will almost certainly go up.
