Georgia vs. Georgia Tech Pick Against the Spread
Posted by Vegas Martin in College Football Picks on November 27th, 2009 | Comment »We had a solid amazing Thursday, we had a solid incredible Friday, and now we’re turning to see what’s on tap tomorrow. I like UCONN -13.5 tomorrow, but another game that is jumping out to me is Georgia vs. Georgia Tech -7.5.
WEEKLY RECAP: Hit 3 teasers on Thursday (GB/UNDER, DAL/UNDER, GB/DAL), hit Brandon’s Thanksgiving Special (Texas A&M +21), hit Rutgers -3 at 11:00, hit Brandon’s Game of the Year #4 at 2:30 (Auburn +10), hit 7:00 teaser (PITT +7/UNDER), and now looking to add another W with Boise State -6.5, over 63 at 10:00. I’m 7-0 in my last 7 games since Thanksgiving. Seven and O! The teasers have been working like a charm.
I just can’t get enough football during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Can you tell with the full write ups?
GEORGIA BULLDOGS @ GEORGIA TECH BULLDOGS -7.5
I’ve been eying up this game all week and Georgia Tech -7.5 is just screaming out at me. Why do I like Georgia Tech so much? Their QB Josh Nesbitt is probably the best running QB in the NCAA right now with 1,418 passing yards, 8 passing TDs, 847 rushing yards, and 14 TDs. GT is also 7-1 ATS in their last 8 game and I’ve been riding them throughout that streak.
GT (7-1) is facing a 5-4 Georgia team that averages 27.5 PPG and allows 26.6 PPG, compared to GT’s 36 PPG and 23.5 PPG allowed. GT’s offense averages just about 100 more yards of offense per game. Although Georgia just gives up an average of 327 yards per game overall, they’ve been awful on the road, surrendering 390 yards per game and 30 PPG. I like Georgia Tech in this one since Georgia will give up a lot of points and I don’t think they have an answer for Georgia Tech’s triple option. GT’s offense has been stupid good lately and I expect them to run all over UGA.
I think you’re safe taking Georgia Tech -7.5, but if you want to play it a bit safer, I think you can do a 7-point teaser with Georgia Tech -0.5 and take the over 50 — not a lot of points for these offenses to score and these defenses give up a lot of points. Georgia Tech won this battle 45-42 last season and that’s when Georgia had their weapons (Matthew Stafford, Knowshon Moreno, and Mohammed Massaquoi), so I think you see GT win it again in convincing fashion.
7/8 experts at Covers.com like Georgia Tech -7.5 and 3/4 experts like the Over.
Prediction: Georgia Tech 38 – Georgia 27
Free Pick: Georgia Tech -7.5 (Confidence: 2.5/5), 7-point Teaser Georgia Tech -0.5, Over 50 (Confidence: 3.5/5) (L)
