The Jackets are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 overall and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 as a favorite. Georgia Tech is 13-6 ATS in their last 19 after an ATS win.
Meanwhile, the Bucs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five overall. Charleston Southern is 2-5 ATS in the last seven Monday games.
PICK: I’m going to go with Georgia Tech. The Jackets did a great offensive job against Georgia in their last outing, shooting 60.7 percent with eight 3-pointers. Georgia Tech had 35 rebounds and 17 assists, but could have been sharper on turnovers (15) and fouls (24). Still, I don’t think Georgia Tech will have an issue covering here if they can keep up the good work on offense.
