Ga Tech - Miami, No Score 1st 6 min or UNDER 28 1st half?
No Score 1st 6 min is +100. really like that, as think this is going to be a defensive battle to start with both times grinding, smash mouth football, running the ball. eating clock. not a lot of explosive plays early on.
think that sucks with this prop, one missed tackle, one blown coverage, and a big play and your done. but both of these teams are very well coached on defense, so dont really see that happening
Georgia Tech's defense has been sharp in several areas, including its rush defense (94.2 ypg) and pass defense (181.2 ypg). The result is the ninth- ranked team in the country in total defense (275.5 ypg). Big plays however, have been few and far between with this unit, as Tech has collected just six sacks and five takeaways in the first four games.
The Hurricanes have thrived in the big play department on defense. The team has already racked up 16 sacks, four more than Miami had all of 2012. Miami is also tied for the lead in the ACC with 13 forced turnovers (fifth nationally).
The top playmakers on the roster include LBs Denzel Perryman (team-high 23 tackles, one forced fumble) and Jimmy Gaines (21 tackles, one fumble recovery) and defensive end Anthony Chickillo (13 tackles, two sacks).
GTech's rush defense has been sharp because they've played Elon, Duke, UNC, and VT. The three FBS teams rank 60th, 98th, and 106th in rushing (S&P). To be fair, Miami has had it fairly easy so far too. I'm not sure that defense will rule the day in this game as both teams are going to have a hard time containing their opponents offense. j
