Top Week 2 college football expert predictions
One of Sallee's top college football picks for Week 2: Florida State (-12.5) gets the win and cover against Georgia Tech in a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff in Tallahassee on Saturday. New FSU coach Mike Norvell led Memphis to big numbers, and he inherits some offensive talent in Year 1 at Florida State. Junior quarterback James Blackman has plenty of experience, and he has some impressive receivers such as Tamorrion Terry and D.J. Matthews to work with.
Sallee is also impressed with FSU's defense, which he believes could be one of the nation's best. Georgia Tech, meanwhile, is only in Year 2 of transforming its offense out of the triple-option attack. Sallee told SportsLine he likes what the Yellow Jackets are building, but it's still in the early stages, making FSU the value pick in this spot.
