    Who else thinks Georgia Tech beats Clemson?
    The Yellow jackets coming back home under the lights after a miserable last two games on the road. Clemson is a much different team on the road, and this G Tech defense should be good enough to keep the tigers caged. I look for the yellow jackets to control the tempo of the game and get that rushing attack flowing again, keeping clemson's offense off the field. G Tech should be able to continuously pick up those back breaking 3rd and shorts consistently.

    Clemson run defense is average and should not be able to control the yellow jacket rushing game. The first few possessions in this game are going to be vital determining which team will control the tempo. Clemson wants to hurry up and spread it out, as G Tech wants to slow it down and control the time of possession. I see the Yellow Jackets getting out to an early lead and maintaining it throughout.

    Ill take G Tech +4 but I don't think they will need it.

    How are they going to beat them without a QB and no defense?

          by making clemson play their game, up until these last two road games GT was highest scoring team in ACC if not the nation...

          Both of these teams are black and white, when it comes to home/road

            There will be more Clemson fans than GT fans on this game. I guarantee you Clemson will win this game and it will win it big.

              i think they have a standing room only for this game...might fit a capacity of 5,000 in this stadium

                  Georgia Tech is NOT good defensively...and while GT has usually plays Clemson tough, I just don't see GT covering against the Tigers.

                    Just can't go against Clemson, they are playing with a vengeance this season... and that loss to Miami wasn't a fluke.. it was a blueprint for beating the Yellow jackets.. then again i'm guessing those Clemson kids don't read books well, let alone blueprints.

                      Two really inconsistent teams.

                      I think you'd be crazy to place a wager on this game.

                          agreed. GT keep their weakest link there for sometime now

                            Even more reason to take an underdog team to win here. Anything can happen scenarios tend to favor dogs a little bit more. Personally I wouldn't lean anything but the OVER here but this might hit.

                              After watching Georgia Tech against Miami I wonder how they can beat anyone.

                              The team was so bad on Saturday that I wouldn't bet them again this season. Good luck men.

                                I like the Yellow Jackets here. Two weeks ago everyone thought they were a great team and now all of a sudden they suck?

                                    I don't see how anyone can take GT after how they've played recently. They have no passing game. If they get down in a game then it's over they have no chance of catching up. I mean when it takes you 6-9 minutes to put together a scoring drive, when you're down, then you're in trouble.

                                    The minute Clemson starts going up in this game it's over for GT. I watched them lose to Miami and they looked atrocious... I was mad at myself for taking them after their last loss, thinking they'd rebound.

                                      Gotta agree with this. If Clemson gets a lead in this game its goodnight Tech. I really was not impressed with any part of Georgia Tech against a average Miami team.

                                          Road, Home, my backyard. Doesn't matter, good teams find a way to win.

                                          Georgia Tech lost to Ohio State and Miami (Fl) in consecutive weeks and looked awful doing it. I'm sure they play better at home but as explosive as Clemson is I wouldn't want any part of GT in a game like this. Clemson can put up points in a hurry when they want and if they're able to get a lead on Georgia Tech then it's over.

                                          The triple option can only carry them so far when they have no ability to throw the ball.

                                          Good luck with Georgia Tech if you take them, I just know I wouldn't

                                            that tech rushing attack is so tough to deal with but if they cant find some balance in the passing game- they're going to keep losing.

                                            that young receiver for clemson reminds me of julio jones. cant remember his name watkins?

                                                Like Tech in this one. Clemson has a very poor defense rush defense. Also worth noting they struggled with Wofford at home, a FCS school who also runs the triple option. Tech's defense isn't also as bad as everyone is making them out to be. They've played well enough to keep them in every game this year (33rd in yards game, 48th in scoring defense, 77th in rush defense, 18th in pass efficiency defense).

                                                Part of why Tech looked so bad last week was because their lost their center in the middle of the game. Hard to bounce back from that mid game, especially with their offense. They'll have all week for him to get healthy or gameplan without him.

                                                Tech needs this game to stay in the hunt for the ACC game. They had a rough 2 game stretch on the road, but they're back at home finally with the chance to have a good season.

                                                  like tech for pretty much the same reasons. dib brought up a good point about the wofford game as well, think thats the only game clemson hasnt covered all season.

                                                    Clemson has been killing the books, and they are very confident to recover some of that money this week... hence the opening line 4.5 and now alot of 3.5's

                                                        Georgia Tech lost to Ohio State and Miami (Fl) in consecutive weeks and looked awful doing it. I'm sure they play better at home but as explosive as Clemson is I wouldn't want any part of GT in a game like this. Clemson can put up points in a hurry when they want and if they're able to get a lead on Georgia Tech then it's over.

                                                        The triple option can only carry them so far when they have no ability to throw the ball.

                                                        Good luck with Georgia Tech if you take them, I just know I wouldn't
                                                        What in the world are you talking about? Georgia Tech hasn't played Ohio State in at least 10 years, certainly not this year.

                                                          Clemson is a much different team on the road
                                                          Yeah, a better team.

                                                          Both of these teams are black and white, when it comes to home/road
                                                          Clemson is 5-1 ATS at home, beating the spread by an average of 2.3 points per game.
                                                          Clemson is 2-0 ATS on the road, beating the spread by an average of 14.5 points per game.

                                                          And Tech hasn't been significantly better on at home than on the road, either.<!-- / message --><!-- sig --><!-- / sig -->
