Georgia Tech at Georgia - 11/26/22 College Football Picks and Prediction
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will play the Georgia Bulldogs in a non-conference game on Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are 5-6 (4-4) this season after they defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels by a score of 21-17 in their last game. Georgia Tech played great defense against a very good UNC offense and forced one turnover + two turnovers on downs in the win. The Georgia Tech offense is averaging 17.5 points per game with 190.1 passing yards per game and 142.4 rushing yards per game. Zach Gibson has thrown for 398 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions for the Yellow Jackets this season. Hassan Hall has rushed for 520 yards and one touchdown, while Nate McCollum (questionable) has caught 54 passes for 590 yards and three scores for Georgia Tech. The Georgia Tech defense is giving up 27.6 points per game and 401.1 yards per game.
The Georgia Bulldogs are 11-0 (8-0) this season after they defeated the Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 16-6 in their last game. Georgia out gained Kentucky by a total of 363-295 and held them to 3-11 on third down attempts in the win. The Georgia offense is averaging 38.4 points per game with 298.8 passing yards per game and 197.5 rushing yards per game. Stetson Bennett has thrown for 3,011 yards, 14 touchdowns, and six interceptions for the Bulldogs this season. Kenny McIntosh has rushed for 568 yards and seven scores, while Brock Bowers has caught 41 passes for 625 yards and four touchdowns for Georgia. The Georgia defense is allowing 11.1 points per game and 272.1 yards per game.
Georgia Tech is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against the SEC. The under is 9-4 in Georgia Tech’s last 13 games. Georgia is 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games against the ACC and 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS loss. The under is 9-3-1 in Georgia’s last 13 games. The road team is 17-3-1 ATS in these two teams last 21 head to head meetings.
Georgia is the best team in the country and will get to play this game at home, while Georgia Tech has had an up and down season and is trying get their 6th win. Georgia Tech is down to their third string quarterback and will not find the success on the ground that they found against UNC. I like the over in this game, as I think Georgia will score 40+ on their own.
