Randy’s Pick

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have looked terrible defensively in games against decent competition, and they’re 116th in total defense, 131st in rushing defense and 105th in scoring defense. Not ideal against an athletic Mimi team that’s 10th in rushing offense, seventh in total offense and eighth in scoring offense. Miami is also pretty decent defensively, holding 3 of its 4 opponents to single digit points. Miami has also had an extra week to rest and prepare. Just a bad matchup overall for the Yellow Jackets. Give me the Hurricanes in a home beat down.
