Both Virginia Cavaliers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are going to be coming into this game playing some interesting football on the season. Virginia is currently 2-4 on the year and 0-3 in the ACC.
Georgia Tech, on the other hand, is currently 3-3 and 2-1 in the ACC. This should be an interesting game because Georgia Tech isn’t necessarily a good team, but they have shown some life throughout the past few weeks, and it’s something that we’re going to be thinking about with our Virginia vs Georgia Tech betting.
If they can continue playing the way that they have throughout the past three to four weeks, this could be a game at Georgia Tech does come away with.
Virginia and Georgia Tech Last Records
Virginia is going to be coming into this game after a disappointing loss to Louisville, 34-17. Their inability to get stops on the defensive side of the football was the cause of this loss.
Georgia Tech is going to be coming into this one beating Duke on Saturday in overtime as they scored 23 points and were able to do enough defensively when it mattered most to find a way to get the win. The college football standings are in favor of Georgia Tech right now in the ACC.

Virginia vs. Georgia Tech Betting Analysis
Georgia Tech
The one thing about Georgia Tech right now is that this team has managed to win two games in a row, which is something that we never thought we would be saying about a Georgia Tech football team.
The NCAAF picks could reflect that, but we also have to factor in here that Georgia Tech is still Georgia Tech at the end of the day, and they have a lot more to prove to us than just these past two games.
Their past two games have been impressive, however, as they have a win over Pittsburgh.
Top 25 Team
Pittsburgh was a top 25 team coming into the season, and although they do already have two losses on the year, finding a way to beat them has been something that needs to be talked about more for Georgia Tech the week after they decided to fire their head coach.
If this team is going to continue playing well, it’s likely going to be because of what they can do on the offensive side of the football behind Jeff Simms.
It was clear that something wasn’t working down there at Georgia Tech, and maybe firing the coach is exactly what this program needed for the future to finally be a competitive program.
Virginia
The Virginia Cavaliers have had seasons in the past where they’re actually an above-average college football team.
Unfortunately for them, that doesn’t seem to be the case this year as they’re currently sitting in 7th place of the ACC already and are coming off a disappointing loss where they got blown out by Louisville.
Louisville is only 3-3 on the season, so Virginia was hopeful that they were going to be able to win this game.
Virginia’s Losses
When looking at some of the Virginia losses this season, sometimes their offense plays well, and sometimes their defense plays well, but there are also times when both of those aren’t clicking at the same time.
Inconsistency at times makes our Virginia vs Georgia Tech betting is a bit interesting because we’re going to have to really dig deep into the NCAAF stats here and see who has been the better football team week in and week out.
If Virginia can find a way to click on both sides of the football at the same time, this team has a chance of being very good. Unfortunately for them, it just doesn’t seem like it’s going to be the case anytime soon.
Virginia Cavaliers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Betting Preview
When looking at the college football odds, it’s easy to see why Georgia Tech is going to be coming into this game as a 3.5-point favorite.
Moneyline
Considering this game is going to be played at Georgia Tech and the way that Virginia has played sometimes throughout the season, the Yellow Jackets deserve to be the favorite in this game.
The moneyline for Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets is going to be slotted at – 175 on the money line, and Virginia is going to be a +150.
Total
The over/under in this game is going to be at 45.5, and with the way that some of these NCAAF teams can play defense when they’re on their game, it does make sense.
However, our best bet in this game could be taking the over because both offenses have shown signs of life at random times.
Virginia Cavaliers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Betting Prediction
We are finally here with our Virginia vs Georgia Tech betting selection and the best pick in this game is actually going to be taking Virginia + 3.5.
Although they haven’t played well recently, putting our money on Georgia Tech never seems like a good idea. Virginia is going to be coming into this one after a disappointing loss, but we also have to factor in that this team has competed against some of the better teams in the country throughout the year.
They have beaten some impressive teams, and although they have dropped three in a row, this is a perfect bounce-back spot for them.
Who to Bet On?
Typically when a team loses more than two games in a row, a betting line wouldn’t be at 3.5. I think that Vegas is trying to trap us a little bit here, and Virginia comes down and finds a way to get this win.
They have to continue showing that they can get stops on the defensive side of the football just like they have throughout some of their games this year and they have a chance of winning this game.
If we can replicate what they did against Syracuse in their 22-20 loss, I think this is a great spot for them to find a way up to win this ball game and at least cover the +3 spread.
NCAAF Pick: Virginia +3 (-110)
