Georgia Tech vs Georgia Prediction
The current betting odds have Georgia listed as a 19.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 6-2 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC and in a good position to make the SEC Championship. They have looked a lot better in their home games this season with their 5-0 home record and after the way things went in the SEC last week, they have a chance to really solidify themselves as a playoff team and one of the best in the conference. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech has looked good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall and their 5-3 conference record which has them in the middle of the ACC. They are not a playoff team and don't have a chance of getting there, but they do have an upset win over Miami this year and have been a scrappy team. They are coming off a win over NC State in their last one, but they really struggled a lot in that game and NC State hasn't really been that good this season. GA Tech hasn't looked as good in their games with their backup QB either and they don't have the talent that Georgia has on their team. Georgia has looked a lot better in their games lately with their offense putting up points and their defense not giving up as many. They have showed up in big games all season and this is another big game that they are going to show up for to finish the regular season strong with the SEC Championship and playoffs on the line. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia to cover the spread in this game.
