COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Pittsburgh enters with the better offensive production across the board, led by 31.6 points per game, 444.3 total yards per game, and 290.8 passing yards per game. Georgia Tech counters with 26.7 points per game and 378.7 total yards per game, but its defense has struggled badly, allowing 30.3 points and 407.6 yards per game, including 210.4 rushing yards allowed per game. Pittsburgh’s defense has been more dependable overall, giving up 20.9 points per game, though it has been more vulnerable through the air at 266.3 passing yards allowed per game. That mix creates a game script where both teams can score, and Pittsburgh’s offense has the best unit on the field.
Pittsburgh has the better offense and the more stable overall profile, but Georgia Tech’s defensive issues and its own scoring ability point more toward a higher-scoring game than a shutdown result. The Panthers should control the game flow, yet Georgia Tech still has enough offense to contribute, which supports an over result. Final projection: Pittsburgh Panthers 34, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 24.
