Georgia vs Georgia Tech Prediction

The current betting odds have Georgia listed as a 23 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia has looked really good this season with their 11-0 record overall and their 8-0 conference record. They didn't look as good as previous years early on this season but they have looked a lot better in their games lately as they have reclaimed their number 1 spot in the rankings. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech hasn't looked bad this season with their 6-5 record overall and their 5-3 conference record. GA Tech has been really good in the ACC this season and with their win against Syracuse last week, they are now bowl eligible too. Georgia Tech doesn't really have much of a chance to keep this game close with the way Georgia has been playing lately and Georgia will be using this game as a way to fine tune themselves before playing Alabama in the SEC Championship. Georgia is going to continue to roll here as they have a 3rd straight National Championship on their mind this year. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia to cover the spread in this game. 

Georgia Georgia Tech Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 25, 2023 (7:30 pm ET start time) is Georgia 49 Georgia Tech 10.
