Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech will be coming into this one as arguably the most disappointing team in all of college football, year in and year out.
The Georgia Tech odds in this game will undoubtedly reflect the disappointing play we’ve seen out of them this season.
They ended up winning two games in a row against Pittsburgh and Duke and now have lost two in a row against Virginia and Florida State.
Even when things seem to be getting better for Georgia Tech, they go right back downhill. This has been the story for the program throughout the past few seasons, and it’s a significant call for concern.
They decided to fire their head coach, and although they have been better since they did decide to fire him, this team is still nowhere near where they need to be.
Yellow Jackets’ Defense
One thing to watch out for here is that their defense does have games throughout the season where they have shown that they can get stops.
Although their college football schedule has been challenging, this team should be playing much better football, and maybe this is a week that they can show that.
Key Injuries
Georgia Tech currently doesn’t have any players on the injury report that seems to be of major significance.
Betting Trends to Know
Georgia Tech is currently 2-3 against the spread in the ACC this season. Georgia Tech is 3-5 against the spread as a whole this season.
In games they were the underdog by three points or more, the Yellow Jackets went 3-3 against the spread.
Virginia Tech Hokies
The Virginia Tech Hokies are an interesting team, and they have shown signs throughout the past few years of being an above-average college football team.
Unfortunately for them, similar to Georgia Tech, this program is not where they need to be.At 2-6, this is a major disappointment of a season for the Hokies.
They have losses against:
- Old Dominion
- West Virginia
- UNC
- Pittsburgh
- Miami
- NC State
They only lost by a point in their most recent game against NC State. Although losing by a point against a top-25 team isn’t always the biggest deal in the world, this game showed why Virginia Tech has struggled throughout the season.
They were winning this game by 11 points in the second half and gave 14 points up in the fourth quarter to lose the game. If they want to be better, their NCAAF stats will have to improve in the coming weeks.
Key Injuries
Virginia Tech doesn’t have any players on the injury report that seems to be of major concern. Once again, we recommend continuing to check that, as you’ll want to ensure that you have the best possible data for this game.
Betting Trends to Know
Virginia Tech also has some interesting betting trends this season, which is certainly something we’ll be considering with our Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech betting picks.
They will be coming into this game winning three games against the spread in the ACC and losing two. In terms of a spread this season, they are 3-5 against the spread. Only two games so far have hit the over this season.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Virginia Tech Hokies State Odds
The odds coming into this game will see Virginia Tech as a 3-point favorite. Considering that this game will be played in Virginia, it certainly makes sense.
They will come in with a money line at -150, and the over/under will be slotted at 40.5. Neither team has played well and is ranked in the college football standings, meaning the under could be the play here.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Betting Picks
Moneyline
The best money line bet in this game will be taking Virginia Tech – 150. Considering that we can get them at still somewhat decent odds, it feels like a great time to jump all over them.
NCAAF Pick: Virginia Tech (-150)
Over/Under
Our best over/under bet is actually going to be taking the under 40.5 points here. Although this is an insanely low number for college football, there should be no way that this game has plenty of points scored.
NCAAF Pick: Under 41 (-110)
These are two of the worst offenses in the country for most of the season, which will show this Saturday again.
Spread
The best spread bet in this game is going to be taking Virginia Tech -3. Putting money on Georgia Tech never seems like a good idea, so let’s not do that this Saturday.
If Virginia Tech comes out and does what they’ve shown, this is a game they should be able to come away with somewhat easily despite a slow start this season.
NCAAF Pick: Virginia Tech -3 (-115)
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Score Prediction
We are finally here with our Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech betting picks, and the final score of this game will see the Virginia Tech Hokies win 20-14. This means we would win our money line bet, spread bet, and over/under bet.
We believe that this will be a low-scoring contest but that Virginia Tech will eventually be able to get something going in the fourth quarter and score a touchdown to win this game outright.
NCAAF Pick: Virginia Tech -3 (-115)
