Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech Pick, Betting Analysis
This is a good buy-low / sell-high spot on the Hokies, who have suffered back-to-back hard-luck losses against Cal and Pitt.
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech picked up its first FBS win (thanks to a missed chip-shot field goal by Duke) in a slam-dunk home spot last week.
I'm still not a believer in this Yellow Jackets roster, which is now dealing with a handful of key injuries on both sides of the ball.
The Hokie defense (which leads the nation in tackles for loss) should dominate the line of scrimmage on early downs and then create plenty of Havoc on late downs when Georgia Tech has the ball.
Virginia Tech's offense, then, should hit plenty of explosives through the air against a GT defense that ranks 122nd in EPA Per Pass allowed.
I think this VT offense is a bit underrated at the moment. Keep in mind one of their games against BC was played in unplayable conditions in basically a monsoon
I don't love fading Brent Key as an underdog, but this Georgia Tech team is at a severe talent disadvantage in this matchup.
And keep in mind, the Yellow Jackets have only played one true road game so far this season and lost outright at lowly Stanford, allowing 34 points to a Tree offense that has scored 10 combined points in the two games since.
I think we are getting the Hokies cheap in a game where James Franklin will want to flex his muscles in front of the home crowd following back-to-back close losses. Let's just hope John Love remembers how to make field goals!
Pick: Virginia Tech -9.5 (Play to -10)
