Georgia Tech will host Pittsburgh on Saturday Night in Atlanta, GA, for a crucial ACC matchup. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The Yellow Jackets will clinch a berth to the ACC Championship with a win on Saturday night.
The Panthers will keep their hopes alive of clinching an ACC Championship berth if they come out on top. They would also need to win next week at home over Miami.
Georgia Tech is favored by 2.5 points on the spread with a moneyline of -140.
I put together a 2-leg parlay for Saturday's matchup, featuring a moneyline pick and a player prop for Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King.
Here are my Georgia Tech vs. Pitt picks and same-game parlay for Saturday, November 22.

Moneyline Pick: Georgia Tech ML
This game is a sellout, marking the first time since 2015 that Georgia Tech has had multiple sellouts in a season.
Longview, Texas, native Haynes King leads the Tech offense with 2,259 passing yards and 807 rushing yards. King has accounted for 24 touchdowns this season.
Pitt freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel will be tested on the road. The Oregon Ohio native has thrown for 1,673 yards and twelve touchdowns this season.
This high-powered Tech offense will be too much for Pitt to match up with. The Yellow Jackets rank sixth in the nation in offensive yards per game (476.3).
King's ability to beat teams in the running and passing game has been a significant concern for defensive coordinators.
While Pitt has been solid against the run this season, it allowed 175 yards on the ground to a strong Notre Dame team last weekend.
I expect similar results in this game, as Georgia Tech will be able to do whatever it wants on offense.
Pitt is expected to be without their best offensive player, Desmond Reid. Reid is a dynamic threat in both the rushing and passing games, and his injury is crucial to Pitt's offensive strategy. He has officially been listed as questionable.
Lastly, this is a tough spot for a freshman quarterback on the road. I trust the veteran King and this Tech team to earn a crucial home win on Saturday night.
Georgia Tech Player Prop Pick: Haynes King Under 31.5 Passing Attempts
The game script will bode well for this prop.
Georgia Tech is a run-first team by nature, and, as mentioned, I believe it will be able to run the rock effectively and set the tone in this game.
The Yellow Jackets should play most of the game with a lead, meaning they will lean on their run game in the second half.
Our Action PRO Report projects 27.8 attempts for King.
