No. 12 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Virginia Cavaliers |
Georgia Tech is bowl eligible for the 15th consecutive year, which is the fourth-longest such streak in the nation. The Yellow Jackets have six games remaining and only one of those comes against a team with a losing record currently.
The team is just the second in aCC history to score more than 200 points in its first four games of the season, ranking fourth nationally in rushing offense, going up against a defensive unit that is allowing just 116.4 rushing yards a contest.
Both teams will look to control the football, ranking in the upper half in the conference in terms of time of possession. Georgia Tech has had 75 offensive possessions and scored 38 touchdowns.
The Yellow Jackets have been tremendously successful in winning eight of their last 10 games versus ACC Atlantic division opponents, while winning 15 of 20 games within the conference overall.
sportsbook Bettors will find that the team is 10-8 ATS versus conference foes, while the ‘under’ is 11-8 in those contests.
Virginia is set to play its third game of a four-game homestand inside Scott Stadium, coming in with a 16-16-1 record in the all-time series with Georgia Tech. The programs have met every season since 1982, with the home team winning 13 of the last 16.
Cavaliers sophomore quarterback Michael Rocco has connected on 73.8 percent of his passes on third and fourth down.
Defensively, the unit has done a fantastic job of creating havoc in opposing backfields, averaging 7.8 tackles for loss per game, second in the ACC and 13th nationally.
Don’t make your college football betting picks this weekend until finding out that the Cavaliers are 2-0 ATS after a bye week, but just 7-11 ATS when playing as an underdog.
