Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. NC State Wolfpack Prediction
The Wolfpack have yet to lose at home this but what quality win do they have? They’ve destroyed a bunch of overmatched teams as expected. Their destruction of VT wasn’t that impressive when you factor in the situation with the Hokies hitting the road feeling a little too full of themselves after knocking off Duke. The Yellow Jackets in their last road tilt got destroyed at Duke, but the narrative is the same as previously mentioned. Georgia Tech was coming off of a shocking 12-point win over UNC as a 17-point home dog and came up flat against the Blue Devils. GT is only 1-3 on the road this season, but did have a good one two back against VCU getting the straight up win in OT. NC State has scored an average of 87.8 points while allowing just 69.3 points per game to their opposition, but I think we have a live dog here who could win this outright if they play to their full abilities.
Free Pick:
Take the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +8.5
