Lets just take a moment to look at a few facts here. The line is Va Tech -13, which seems to be because GT lost by more than that to Clemson in their last game, and because Va Tech has recently been blowing teams out, but really who have they blown out? Duke, BC, Wake Forest, ECU, and Central Michigan. Not exactly the cream of the crop. They lost by 3, to Boise, lost an emotional game to James Madison, and their only quality ACC win was to NC State, which was only by 11 points!
Both teams are coming off of by weeks, so neither team has had more time to prepare, or rest up so thats a wash.
The game is in Blacksburg Va, which is without a doubt one of the hardest places to play. Edge Va Tech.
Georgia Tech has yet to blow a real team, only beating South Carolina State and Middle Tennsesse Soundly. Yes they beat UNC early in the year but it was by 6 and UNC was playing short handed.
Georgia Techs two ACC loses were by more than tonights spread of -13.
Georgia Tech has a flat out horrible rushing D.
Georgia Tech is 119th in the country in passing, yards, AKA no passing game.
So Georgia Tech keeps the ball on the ground. They will score because the triple option threat is tough to play D against and will get the yellow jackets into the end zone.
The smart play is the over with both teams able to put points up on the board.
As far as the spread goes, even playing at home, 13 points is a lot of points in an important ACC game for both teams.
My picks. Give me the points. GT +13, Over 56.5.
Prediction: Va Tech 38 GT 28...... Va Tech gets it done in 4th quarter with home crowd rocking to Enter Sandman.
