Fresh off a brutal buzzer-beating loss at home against Miami, Virginia Tech looks to pick themselves back up when they head to Tallahassee to face the Florida State Seminoles Saturday afternoon.

Both teams come off losses in ACC play, as the Seminoles also got dropped 75-61 at the hands of Georgia Tech on the road.

Can the Hokies make their way out of the basement of the ACC on the road? Or can the Seminoles hold home court in what's expected to be a very tight, close ballgame?

Here are the latest odds over at WynnBET Sportsbook.

Virginia Tech vs. Florida State Prediction and Pick

After opening at 132.5, the under has taken a big move, going down a full three points over at WynnBET. While that's a sizable move on a low total game anyways, I'm still willing to jump into the pool for now.

Meanwhile, the line feels a bit fishy to me. Virginia Tech is at the bottom of the conference and have lost three straight games. Florida State is 8-1 at home and they're just 2.5-point favorites?

So why go under? Virginia Tech plays incredibly slow, coming in 342nd in pace. Also, while they shoot the three-point shot very well at 39.4%, the Seminoles' length should still be bothersome in getting attempts off, despite their numbers that suggest the opposite.

Meanwhile, Florida State has also struggled on offense this season and have only scored 61 points in back to back conference games.

Expect another low-scoring affair in Florida this afternoon.

LEAN: UNDER 129.5 (-110)
