Nevada Wolf Pack vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets prediction
This line is a little disrespectful toward Georgia Tech if we’re being honest, as the Yellow Jackets have some nice wins and their defense is respectable. However, the Nevada Wolf Pack are the far and away more balanced team of the two, and they have more offensive pop. Also, Nevada is 9-3 ATS on the season, with covers in 4 straight games. Nevada is an elite defensive team, top-100 in offensive scoring and covers numbers. The Wolf Pack are looking more and more like a team that can make a deep run in the big dance. I’ll lay the points.
