Georgia Tech vs Georgia Prediction
This line is a bit strange to me. I guess the Georgia Bulldogs are the more talented team on paper, and being at home helps in a rivalry game. However, we’re getting free buckets with a Georgia Tech team that just beat ranked teams in Mississippi State and Duke in back to back games. Winning those games has to count for something and has to be an indication that Georgia Tech isn’t too shabby. Give me the Yellow Jackets and the free points.
