Georgia Tech Looks to Spoil Rival’s Title Hopes
Georgia Tech is 7-4 overall this season and 5-3 in the ACC. While they are out of contention for the ACC championship for the year, they still have plenty to play for this weekend. The Yellow Jackets can not only pick up an eighth win on the year to pad their bowl resume, but they can also ruin Georgia’s chances of making the College Football Playoff. To accomplish any of that, they will need to find a way to get their ground game going against one of the best defenses in all of college football.
Georgia In Must-Win Non-Conference Finale
The Georgia Bulldogs are 9-2 overall and 6-2 in SEC play. They could still reach their conference championship game if Texas A&M loses out, but this game is important to Georgia no matter what A&M does. A loss here would require Georgia to win the SEC title to make the College Football Playoff, while a win would likely be enough to get them in no matter what happens around the rest of their conference. After slow starts against Ole Miss and Tennessee in their last two games, the Bulldogs will need a stronger start to avoid being put on upset alert on Saturday.
Georgia Tech vs Georgia Betting Pick
Our expectation for Georgia Tech vs Georgia is for the home team to get off to a better start than they have over their last couple of games. Look for Georgia to come out and leave no doubt as to their status in the playoff picture, winning this game and covering the spread. They will then wait and hope that they can get some help from Texas against Texas A&M on Saturday night to set up a rematch between the Bulldogs and Longhorns for the SEC title.
