Wake Forest vs Georgia Tech Prediction

I’m on Georgia Tech and the points in this game. I think that Wake Forest is playing with fire at a certain point, and the Demon Deacons are just a hard team for me to have confidence in, in their current form. The Yellow Jackets have been playing some of their best basketball of the season and have solid road wins over teams like Pitt and Clemson, and I think the Yellow Jackets could give Wake some troubles here. Give me Georgia Tech and the points here.
