Georgia Tech vs Virginia Betting Prediction
Virginia can’t talk all they want about how much pride they have in their defense, but this offense is awful, there is no other way to put it. Virginia is averaging only 63.2 points per game and they are going to struggle to get the offense going here. Two games ago against Florida State, Georgia Tech scored 85 points and they are going to find some offensive success in this game. They might not score 85 points in this game, but they are going to score enough to cover the spread.
