Miami vs Georgia Tech Prediction

The current betting odds have GA Tech listed as a PK in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. GA Tech has not been having a great year as they had to fire their head coach halfway through the season, but they have really turned things around since then as they have been playing a lot better under their interim head coach. They have already pulled off a few upsets against some ACC opponents and that includes last week when they came back from behind to beat VA Tech. Miami has been terrible in their games lately, they haven't been winning a lot of games and even the few games they have won have been within a score. They just got blown out at home last week against rival FSU and their offense did nothing in that game putting up just 3 points while their defense gave up 45. What was supposed to be a great defense this year has turned into one of the worst defenses in the ACC and GA Tech will find ways to move the ball here. The best way to place a bet here is on GA Tech to cover the spread and win this game.
