Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Louisville Cardinals Prediction
I’m on Georgia Tech and the points here. I get the case for the Cardinals after Georgia Tech’s been getting smacked around in some of their recent games. However, Louisville hasn’t necessarily been blowing teams away as of late, and I think this is just simply a case of too many points where a comfortable win can still see Georgia Tech get in the back door. Give me the Yellow Jackets and the points.
