Virginia Tech vs Georgia Tech Prediction 

Georgia Tech comes into this matchup on a four-game losing streak, but they will be at home for this contest. The Yellow Jackets are shooting 44% from the field, but they have scored 59 points or fewer in two of their last four games. Virginia Tech has won two of their last three games and they are playing much better after a poor start to the season. The Hokies are shooting 44.7% from the field and they did split their last two road games. These two teams have both struggled on defense at times this season and I think either team could get the win, so give me the points with the Hokies here.
