Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Betting Preview

Georgia Tech has had quite the up-and-down season so far, and they’ve been fighting off the .500 mark most of the way. The Jackets kicked things off with an 8-7 run featuring wins over West Georgia, Texas Southern, Charleston Southern, Central Arkansas, UMBC, Alabama A&M, Notre Dame and Boston College. The losses came versus North Florida, Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Northwestern and Duke otherwise. Georgia Tech would then hit a 1-5 run with losses to Syracuse, SMU, Clemson, Florida State and Notre Dame. Since then it’s been a 4-1 run though, with a lone loss to Virginia. Otherwise the Yellow Jackets have dispatched Louisville, Clemson, Stanford and Cal in that time. That gives Georgia Tech a 13-13 overall run through their first 26 games of the year so far.

In the California home matchup last weekend, the Yellow Jackets posted a 39-34 halftime advantage. Georgia Tech gave it up in the second though, and needed overtime to power out the 90-88 victory in the end. The Jackets were led by Baye Ndongo’s double-double on 26 points and 13 rebounds, as well as Naithan George on 26 points, eight assists, three boards, one steal and one block. Also in double-figures was Duncan Powell with 19 points, six rebounds and one steal. Jaeden Mustaf added eight points off the bench as well.

Boston College Eagles Betting Preview

Over on the Eagles’ side, they weren’t looking too bad early this calendar year, but they’ve fallen on hard times since then. Boston College went 9-5 in their first 14 games, taking out the Citadel, Temple, Loyola MD, Old Dominion, Missouri State, Boise State, Stonehill, Fairleigh Dickinson and Miami along the way (with losses otherwise to VCU, Dartmouth, South Carolina, Wake Forest and SMU). Boston College is just 2-10 since then. The losses in that time came versus Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Duke, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame and NC State. All in all Boston College is sitting at 11-15 through 26 games so far this season.

Matched up versus Virginia Tech on Tuesday, the Eagles jumped out to a dominant 26-11 halftime advantage. Boston College kept it going from there with a 28-25 run and took the victory 54-36 at home. The team’s only double-digit scorer was Donald Hand, who finished with 16 points, two rebounds and one assist. Chad Venning chipped in eight points with four rebounds, and Jayden Hastings came off the bench for eight points in 15 minutes of work.

Why the Boston College Eagles will win

• Georgia Tech has lost each of its last six away games when playing with a rest advantage.
• The home team has won seven of Georgia Tech’s last eight games.
• The home team has won the first half in each of Boston College’s last four games.

Why the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will win

• Georgia Tech has won six of its last seven games against Boston College.
• Boston College has lost 10 of its last 12 games.
• Boston College has lost the first half in nine of its last 10 day games against the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Boston College vs Georgia Tech Prediction

I’ll just stay with Georgia Tech here. The Yellow Jackets are coming off a nice win over a persistent Cal team, but there’s plenty to clean up. Georgia Tech shot a stellar 54.7 percent from the field with 32 rebounds in that one, but they also gave up 50 percent shooting on the other side and had 14 turnovers for 16 Bears points. Still, it goes down as a victory and Georgia Tech has now posted five wins in the last seven outings.

When these teams first met back on January 4, Georgia Tech pulled off a pretty routine 85-64 win at home. The Yellow Jackets shot extremely well in that one also (58.5 percent) but weren’t so hot from the line (15-of-27 for 55.6 percent). The 18 points off 13 Eagles turnovers also helped quite a bit, but Georgia Tech can’t rely on mistakes this time. Still, if the shooting stays hot and the Jackets can hit the boards well (not to mention hit a few foul shots), I think Georgia Tech will be okay in the road rematch.
