Georgia Tech vs NC State Prediction
NC State just hasn’t been ale to string together success to be worth a look in the betting market, and its blowout loss to Syracuse just elevates that. NC State has yet to win a game on the road this season. Georgia Tech has a couple of nice wins lately and is at home, where 12 of its 14 wins have come. You can argue Georgia Tech should be an even larger favorite than this. The line is more than reasonable to either back Georgia Tech or fade NC State. Whatever you want to call it. Give me Georgia Tech and the small number.
