The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (3-7, 2-6 ACC) visit the No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (9-1, Independent) Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia Tech vs. Notre Dame odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.
The Yellow Jackets waved good-bye to bowl eligibility with a 41-30 loss to Boston College at home last week, a fourth consecutive loss after a 3-3 start. The Ramblin’ Wreck is also just 1-5 ATS across the past six outings.
The Fighting Irish are still very much alive for a spot in the College Football Playoffs and need to keep winning. Wowing the voters with an impressive win wouldn’t hurt, either, so look for style points here, too.

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Notre Dame 43, Georgia Tech 25
Money line
Notre Dame (-900) will cost you nine times your potential return, and that’s just too steep even though it’s very unlikely the Irish stumble.
PASS.
Against the spread
NOTRE DAME -17.5 (-115) is a better play laying the number, although play this one lightly. The Georgia Tech +17.5 (-107) has shown signs of life lately with 30 points both against Miami and Boston College in the previous two outings.
Over/Under
The OVER 57.5 (-115) is the best play on the board. The Irish will keep their foot on the gas, looking to score at every opportunity, and the Yellow Jackets have been surprisingly effective offensively in recent weeks.
This won’t be one of those crazy video-game scores like Wake Forest has been involved in recently, but you can expect a total well into the 60’s or 70’s.
