Georgia at Georgia Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 45, Georgia Tech 24
Moneyline
Georgia (-3000) will set you back 30 times your potential return, and that's simply way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. You must risk $100 for every $3.33 won, so it shouldn't need to be said, but AVOID, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
GEORGIA TECH +24.5 (-115) is extremely unlikely to pull off the unthinkable, knocking off Georgia -24.5 (-105) from the ranks of the unbeaten. But the Yellow Jackets have QB Haynes King and an offense which can hang. This team has rolled up 31.9 PPG, and the Jackets have piled up 435.1 total yards per game. Offense isn't the issue. It's defense, where the Jackets can't get out of their own way.
Ultimately, a defense which allows 437.0 total YPG, including 222.4 rushing YPG and 30.5 PPG, will be the undoing of the Jackets, before any upset bid even remotely gets started.
Over/Under
OVER 59.5 (-110) is the best play on the board.
Georgia Tech can't stop anybody, and the Over has cashed in 5 in a row, going for 21 or more points in every game this season, while coughing up 22 or more points 4 of the past 5 outings.
Georgia has hit the Over at a 6-2 clip across the past 8 games overall, while the offense has posted 27 or more points in 7 straight contests.
