Why Georgia Tech will cover

Georgia Tech vs Cincinnati Prediction
Cincinnati comes into this game looking to stay undefeated so far this season, but this will be the toughest team they have played. The Bearcats have beaten up on lesser teams in their first four games, making most of their stats look better than they really are. Georgia Tech is coming off of an eight point loss against Georgia and they allowed 105 points to North Florida three games ago, but they also blew out Texas Southern and West Georgia. I do think Cincinnati gets the win here, but I am taking the points with Georgia Tech, as we really haven’t seen much from the Bearcats this year.
