On the other side of this matchup is the Wake Forest Demon Deacons who sit with a 6-14 record overall and coming into this game they have lost six games in a row. In the last game against the Pitt Panthers, the offense could only manage 57 points and that led to the defeat.

This is a big game for Georgia Tech and they are going to treat it like that. Look for Georgia Tech to find the defensive success and that will lead to the Yellow Jackets coming away with a cover of the spread. Back Georgia Tech against the spread.
