GA Tech vs Clemson College Football Preview
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Betting Preview
Georgia Tech is in a lost season. The Yellow Jackets have lost four straight, most recently 44-17 to Louisville, and Brent Key called the performance embarrassing afterward.
The numbers explain the frustration. Tech was allowing 219.3 rushing yards a game before the Louisville loss, 134th of 138 FBS teams, and the Cardinals added 251 more. The offense has not been good enough to cover for it, either, with a 2-of-8 first half on third down against Louisville and Key rotating Alberto Mendoza and Grady Adamson, who combined for 241 passing yards, a touchdown apiece and an interception.
The reason to still respect this team is that its offense produces at a respectable rate. Tech is averaging 24.0 points a game, a hair above Clemson's 23.0, and Mendoza has completed about 69% of his passes for 1,943 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions behind a run game anchored by Justice Haynes, who has 635 yards.
This is also the same program that went into Atlanta last season and beat Clemson 24-21 on a walk-off field goal, and Tech has the fifth-ranked pass defense in the ACC by one count, which matters against a Clemson offense that has been inconsistent through the air.
The challenge is health. Tech's report for this game lists 19 players out, including four offensive linemen, two defensive ends, two defensive tackles, and six defensive backs, and tight end Kevin Roche Jr., the team's top receiving target, is questionable after getting hurt late against Louisville.
That is a lot of lost depth for a team that has to travel to Death Valley and has not won on the road this season.
Clemson Tigers Betting Preview
Clemson is the better team and has played like it more often than not, but it has not been an offense that puts opponents away. In its latest game, an 18-13 win at Syracuse, the Tigers scored without a single offensive touchdown. Nolan Hauser kicked four field goals, including a 54-yarder, and Jahiem Lawson's 22-yard fumble return supplied the only touchdown, after a Kourtney Kelly sack forced the ball loose.
Freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds threw for 161 yards and ran for 61, but he has thrown just three touchdown passes all season against four interceptions, which tells you where the offense lives. It lives on the ground and in the kicking game. Gideon Davidson has 528 rushing yards and five touchdowns but is questionable with an ankle injury, and Jarvis Green ran for 85 against Syracuse. Reynolds is also playing through a bruised shoulder, and Christopher Vizzina is available behind him.
The defense is the identity. Clemson allows 20.7 points a game, has 27 sacks and eight interceptions, and has a defensive line led by Kelly, Amare Adams and Andy Burburija that has carried the team all year. Ashton Hampton held Syracuse's Umari Hatcher to two catches and picked off a pass in the end zone.
The defense is not at full strength, with cornerbacks Donovan Starr and Corian Gipson both out. That kind of defense is why the Tigers are winning games, and it is also why a lot of Clemson games are decided by a score or two rather than by 20.
Over its last four games, Clemson has an 18-13 win at Syracuse, a 36-24 win at Florida State, a 20-16 loss to Virginia Tech, and a 37-0 win over Charleston Southern. Only the game against the FCS opponent would have cleared the spread for this matchup.
GA Tech vs Clemson Pick, Betting Analysis
This is a Georgia Tech bet built on the size of the number. Clemson is a 13.5-point favorite, which means the market expects the Tigers to score somewhere around 31 points.
Clemson is averaging 23.0, and in its last game the offense did not find the end zone. Clemson is missing offensive linemen Elyjah Thurmon and Harris Sewell, with wide receiver Tyler Brown and Davidson questionable, so the run-heavy plan is not at full strength either.
Clemson's wins are built on defense, field position, and a kicker, and teams built that way often win by a touchdown or so unless the other side beats itself. Georgia Tech's turnovers and failed fourth downs are the case against it, but the Jackets are averaging 24 points a game and should find a way to put up a couple of scores.
The market has been steady on the point spread. Georgia Tech opened +13.5 at FanDuel, and it is still +13.5, even with the public clearly leaning on Clemson, with 72% of the money on the Tigers. The total has moved down, from 50.5 on opening to as low as 47.5 at some books, which takes a point or more off the expected scoring for each team and works in the underdog's favor.
Georgia Tech has also been a profitable underdog against the number, 19-10 against the spread in its last 29 as a dog, per one trends tracker, and the program has bounced back after losses more often than not, winning 15 of its last 23 straight up after a defeat.
Tech beating Clemson outright is a long shot, but a game where Georgia Tech scores 17 or 20 and the Tigers win by no more than ten is the likely result I'm buying.
Pick: Georgia Tech +13.5 (-110, FanDuel)
