Florida State vs. Virginia 2010 College Football Picks: The University of Virginia Cavaliers appear to be an improved football team in 2010 under first year head coach Mike London who has the team at 2-1 as they head into ACC play with Florida State. The Seminoles also have a new head coach with Jimbo Fisher taking the reigns of the Florida State program following the 2009 retirement of long time coach Bobby Bowden. Both teams begin conference play today when they meet at Charlottesville at Noon on Saturday. The game will be televised on the ACC Network.
BetUS.com lists Florida State as the favorite in this game by 6 1/2-points with a 49 1/2-point OVER/UNDER total. Virginia and Florida State are meeting for the first time since 2006, thanks to the ACC's unbalanced schedule. The series overall has been one-sided, with the Seminoles owning a 31-2 edge, including a 5-2 advantage in games played in Charlottesville. Both of UVA's wins in th eseries have come over top-five ranked FSU teams the most recent a 26-21 victory over then No. 4 FSU in 2005.
Florida State leads the nation this week in quarterback sacks, with sophomore DE Brandon Jenkins tied for 12th nationally in sacks. As a team, the Seminoles are averaging almost five sacks a game. FSU also ranks third nationally as a team in tackles for a loss.
The Seminoles were hitting on all cylinders in their ACC opener with Wake Forest in Week-4, a 31-0 victory. I like FSU as a 6 1/2 -point favorite in this game.
