Georgia Tech vs Duke Game Preview
Why Georgia Tech Will Win
Georgia Tech is having a rough time moving the chains and converting on third downs.
That’s okay – Duke’s defense can’t stop anyone on third downs.

Turnovers continue to be an issue for Duke.
It’s not quite as bad as last year, but the program is on a heater with two or more giveaways in eight straight games and in 13 of the last 15.against FBS teams.
Georgia Tech is 2-0 when forcing multiple takeaways and 0-3 when it doesn’t. So …
