Duke vs Georgia Tech Prediction

I’ll stick with Duke but this should be a fun matchup. The Blue Devils are looking good these days and coming off a blowout confidence-building win over William & Mary. Duke posted 28 first downs, 638 yards on offense and 8-of-13 on third-down tries in that one. Defensively the Devils gave up just 170 yards, seven first downs and 3-of-13 on third downs. Sure, William & Mary are no match for Duke, but it was still impressive.

As for Georgia Tech, they let a potential road win over Stanford slip through their fingers in their last outing. The Jackets went just 3-of-11 on third downs in that one alongside two turnovers and 12 flags for 106 yards. The defense gave up 482 yards and 22 first downs with no takeaways on the other side. Georgia Tech has had some time to rest and prep for this one however, so I think they’ll play relatively well.
