College Football Betting Trends
Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jackets have hit the over in four of their last five road games and in 16 of their last 23 games in October.
Virginia Tech
The Hokies have hit the under in 21 of their last 26 Thursday games and in 16 of their last 21 games in October.
Prediction:
Both team have shown the potential to really unleash their offense, but I see this game being more of a defensive grind. Both teams are pretty good at stopping the run. That should be more of an issue for Georgia Tech on offense. The Hokies can pass the ball a little bit, but I don’t see them moving consistently enough to really rack up a big total. There should be enough defensive stops to keep the total low.
College Football Prediction: Georgia Tech/Virginia Tech Under 58.5
