Virginia vs Georgia Tech Prediction
Georgia Tech has been a punching bag for the ACC this season. Outside of that monster upset over NC State, Georgia Tech hasn’t done much of anything over the last two months. Georgia Tech is bad defensively and doesn’t have the scoring punch to scare opponents. Virginia isn’t cashing a ton of tickets, but it’s solid at both ends and should comfortably win games like this one. Since December 22, Virginia is 4-2 ATS as a favorite. Thick number for a road team, but Georgia Tech just doesn’t get my attention in its current form.
