Georgia Tech vs West Georgia Prediction
West Georgia has the benefit of getting a game under its belt to knock the rust off, but it looked awful, so I’m not sure how much that means. Georgia Tech returns the bulk of its core with three of its top four scorers and that should lead to a quick start. The chemistry is there and if the Yellow Jackets are going to make a splash in the ACC, these are games they need to win. Give me Georgia Tech in a home beatdown.
