Georgia Tech vs. Pitt Prediction
I’m on Georgia Tech and the points in this game. I don’t think all that highly of Georgia Tech if I’m being 100% honest, but I think Georgia Tech is a good enough team to hang around with a Pitt team here. It’s been wildly inconsistent for the better part of conference play. I get that injuries have played a part in that for Pitt, but I just don’t think that Pitt is a team that should be laying this kind of number against anyone at this point. Give me the Yellow Jackets and the points in this game.
