UNC Asheville Bulldogs vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Prediction
In my view, this matchup favors the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to cover the number (10.5). Why? Georgia Tech enters this contest with a perfect 3-0 record and has been the more complete team on both ends of the floor through the opening weeks of the season.
The Yellow Jackets have already secured victories over Hampton, Georgia Southern, and Eastern Kentucky. Through three games, Georgia Tech is averaging 85.0 points per game, which ranks 76th nationally, while allowing just 69.7 points per contest, ranking 102nd in the nation.
Meanwhile, UNC Asheville enters the game with a 2-2 record. The Bulldogs have recorded wins over Erskine and West Georgia, but they have also suffered losses to Western Carolina and the Richmond Spiders. More concerning is the defensive profile. UNC Asheville is allowing 84.3 points per game which ranks an abysmal 284th in the nation.
When you combine the Yellow Jackets offensive production with the Bulldogs recent defensive struggles, this matchup clearly favors Georgia Tech. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to cover the 10.5 points in this game.
