• Texas Southern has lost 13 of its last 16 games against non-conference opponents.

Texas Southern vs Georgia Tech Prediction 

Georgia Tech comes into this matchup trying to bounce back after that loss to North Florida, but they will be at home for this game. The Yellow Jackets did allow over 100 points in their last game, but on the bright side, their offense is scoring 89 points per game. Texas Southern just lost by 28 points at Georgia in their last game, but they only lost by nine points at Xavier to open the year. The Tigers shoot the ball very poorly from the field and I don’t think they can keep pace in this one. Take Georgia Tech to win big and cover at home.
