Georgia Southern vs Georgia Tech Prediction

Georgia Tech is obviously the more talented team and could win this game in blowout fashion. However, when have you ever been excited to lay a boatload of points with Georgia Tech? The answer is probably never. Georgia Tech is a subpar ACC program that often lacks the offensive horses to win comfortably. Georgia Southern has covered seven of its last nine games and is certainly going to be the more excited team for this matchup, getting to play a bigger in-state school.

Georgia Southern also looked great defensively in its opener, which was an upset win over Ball State. Georgia Southern has outright won six of its last seven games as an underdog. Not calling a SU upset here, but give me the points.
