Georgia is 6-5 this season and 3-7 against the point spread. The Bulldogs have won two of their last three games but covered in just one game in the last month. Georgia has won seven of the last eight meetings in this series.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Georgia Tech 7.5-point home favorites over Georgia on Saturday night. The over/under total for this game has been established at 65.
The Yellowjackets have been led all season by their strong rushing attack. Currently, Tech has 3,455 yards on the ground through 11 games with Josh Nesbitt and Jonathan Dwyer leading the way. Nesbitt has rushed for 847 yards while passing for 1,418 yards and Dwyer has 1,203 yards on the ground. Tech is scoring 36 points per-game on the season. Georgia is allowing 26.6 points per-game on defense, but has held opponents to just over 100 yards per-game rushing.
Georgia Tech has given up 23.5 points per-game this season, but has a potent rushing defense that has given up just over 100 yards per-game. The Bulldogs are scoring 27.5 points per-game and racking up 357 yards per-game this season on offense. Joe Cox has been hit and miss as he has thrown for 2,350 yards and 21 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. With Georgia not having a reliable running game, it will be up to Cox on Saturday to keep Georgia in the game.
The key in this pick will be which defense can control the game. If Georgia is somehow able to stop the Yellowjackets running game and making Nesbitt throw, the Bulldogs will certainly cover. If the Yellowjackets can force Cox to be a one-man offense, they will be successful. Georgia Tech seems to have more big-play ability than the Bulldogs in this game with their explosive running game and special teams unit. Georgia Tech seems to be on a roll while the Bulldogs have nothing to play for in this one, so we suggest a pick of Georgia Tech with the under in this game.
