Wake Forest vs Georgia Tech Prediction 

Georgia Tech comes into this matchup with an undefeated record and they are ranked in the top 25, but they will be on the road for this one. The Yellow Jackets already have one road win against Colorado, which came in their first game, and they have scored 45, 24, and 59 points in their last three games. Wake Forest completely collapsed against NC State in their last game and they barely beat Kennesaw State in their opening game, so they have not been impressive in their FBS games this year. I think the Georgia Tech offense is going to roll in this contest and I will not back Ashford after how he played in the second half against NC State. Take the Yellow Jackets on the road here.
