The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-3, 0-1 ACC) and the Pittsburgh Panthers (3-1, 0-0) meet Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Georgia Tech vs. Pittsburgh odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Yellow Jackets have had a power outage on offense, at least against FBS teams, totaling just 20 points scored in 3 games. It did record a 35-17 win over Western Carolina Sept. 10, but the Catamounts are an FCS program. The Under has cashed in all 4 games for the Ramblin’ Wreck so far.
The defending ACC champion Panthers have rebounded with a pair of wins over Western Michigan and Rhode Island after an OT loss to Tennessee Sept. 10. Unlike the Jackets, Pitt has 27 or more points in all 4 games so far, and the Over has hit in 3 of those outings.

Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh picks and predictions
Prediction
Pittsburgh 34, Georgia Tech 13
Money line
Pittsburgh (-1800) is a heavy favorite here, and it should easily win its ACC opener. However, you can’t risk 18 times your potential return, as that’s just not a sound long-term betting strategy.
PASS.
Against the spread
GEORGIA TECH +21.5 (-115) is worth playing catching more than 3 touchdowns in this one. Pittsburgh will win and will come close to covering, but the Panthers’ defense can be had. Even the Yellow Jackets might be able to cobble together a little bit of offense to at least keep Pitt within hailing distance.
Over/Under
The UNDER 47.5 (-108) is the best play on the board.
Georgia Tech has a total of 20 points in 3 games vs. FBS opponents. While Pitt doesn’t have a tremendous defense, it’s still hard to see the Jackets rolling up big numbers. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 meetings in this series, and this one will come in just Under the number, too.
