Georgia Tech is averaging 7 points per game more this year than they were last year at this point in the season.
Catalyst for Virginia's win last year over GT is gone (Peerman) and GT is looking for revenge and to make history. They haven't won at Virginia since 1990.
Will Virginia be able to stop GT's triple option again this year? It doesn't help that their monster DE Conrath is out for this game. It doesn't help that GT's Nesbit is going haywire to the tune of 6 TD's in his past two games. Last year Virginia was helped by two key turnovers: a goal-line fumble that took 7 from GT and that Virginia converted into a FG, and an INT from Nesbit near the red zone with less than three mins left.
Virginia's defense has looked solid the past three weeks, but two of those opponents (UNC and Maryland) have no offense whatsoever. Even FSU's pathetic defense made UNC look bad in the 2H earlier this week.
Having faced the fourth toughest schedue in NCAAF so far this year, and yet still being able to score 32 ppg, I look for Tech to cover this one on their march toward ACC champonship game.
Tech defense will be able to penetrate an offensive line giving up 4 sacks per game, and it helps that they are getting two defensive starters back this week from injury.
Georgia Tech is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.
My play: Georgia Tech -5.5
Machine report plays: 1-2
