Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Virginia Tech Hokies prediction
The Virginia Tech Hokies have been hit or miss, so I’m not thrilled to lay big points, but they’re at home where shots fall at a good clip and the offense came to life against NC State and Boston College. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets haven’t been great in ACC play, and they’ve failed to cover 6 of their last 8 games. Georgia Tech could be in trouble defensively in this matchup. The chalk is a bit steep, but I still like Virginia Tech in this spot.
