The Virginia Cavaliers are set to visit Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida for an ACC clash against the Florida State Seminoles. The Virginia Cavaliers come into this matchup with a 4-4 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Abilene Christian Wildcats, 55-15. QB Brennan Armstrong had a big game for the Cavaliers as he threw for 383 yards and 4 TDs while also adding 52 rushing yards. TE Tony Poljan was one of the top targets for Armstrong and Virginia as he hauled in 5 catches for 77 yards and a TD.

The Virginia Cavaliers were solid on the defensive side of the ball against the Abilene Christian Wildcats as they held them to 15 points and a total of 340 yards of offense. LB Nick Jackson led the way for the Virginia defense with 11 tackles and 1 TFL. The LBs had a productive game for the Cavaliers as LB D’Sean Perry had an interception return for a TD while LB Zane Zandier had 7 tackles and 1 TFL.

The Florida State Seminoles come into this matchup with a 2-6 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the NC State Wolfpack, 38-22. QB Chubba Purdy had a productive game for the Seminoles as he threw for 181 yards and 2 TDs. WR Ontario Wilson was the top target for Purdy and Florida State as he hauled in 7 catches for 117 yards.

The Florida State Seminoles struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the NC State Wolfpack as they allowed them to score 38 points and rack up a total of 413 yards of offense.

LB Amari Gainer led the way for the Florida State defense with 12 tackles and half a TFL. The Seminoles were able to get into the NC State backfield a handful of times as LB Emmett Rice and DE Janarius Robinson combined for 4 TFLs.

The Florida State Seminoles have been a team of two tales this season as they played close against Notre Dame and winning against North Carolina, but they have also been blowout by NC State and Louisville. The Seminoles will get back their starting QB for this game with Jordan Travis, and he could cause problems for a Virginia defense as he can run it or air it out. The Seminoles have a talented group of RBs with Corbin, Webb, and Toafili, but they have been unable to get much production out of them as Travis is the leading rusher with 469 yards and 6 TDs, so expect them to get that rolling early. The Virginia Cavaliers are coming off a cupcake win against Abeline Christian, but I think Florida State will be ready to play this one after having their recent game canceled. Final Score Prediction, Virginia Cavaliers win but fail to cover ATS 35-28.
