North Carolina at Georgia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s North Carolina at Georgia Tech odds and lines, with college football expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The North Carolina Tar Heels (6-1, 3-1, ACC) and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (3-4, 2-2) tangle Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the North Carolina vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

North Carolina is No. 17 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Tar Heels are coming off their 1st loss of the season, 31-27 last Saturday to the 24-point underdog Virginia Cavaliers. UNC will not only look to bounce back from that stunning upset but from a 21-17 loss to these Yellow Jackets last Nov. 19 as a 22-point favorite.

Georgia Tech lost to Boston College 38-23 last Saturday as a 6-point home favorite. The Yellow Jackets were undone by allowing the Eagles to rush for 308 yards. GTU has yielded 227.7 yards per game on the ground to rank 132nd in FBS.

North Carolina at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

North Carolina 38, Georgia Tech 17

Moneyline

The true odds — as usual in double-digit-lined games — likely … very likely … lie between these tags. PASS.

Against the spread

North Carolina is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games. The Tar Heels are 4-1 over their last 5 games when lined as a double-digit favorite (3-1 ATS in their last 4 such games on the road). Georgia Tech is 2-12 ATS in its last 14 home games.

UNC has a diversified offense that stays on schedule while producing explosive plays. The Tar Heels have been below-average in turning quality drives into points (73.1% red-zone scoring ranks 11th in ACC). With this group, that’s a growth area, perhaps especially against a GTU defense that yields quite a few marches across the midfield stripe.

Look for a North Carolina offense that went 4-for-15 on 3rd and 4th downs last week to get back on top of things. Peg the ground-bound Yellow Jackets as a squad not built for a comeback.

TAKE NORTH CAROLINA -11.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This match-up has just a sliver of an Under lean. On a full slate of games, account log-ins are better spent elsewhere. PASS.

Georgia Tech at Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia Tech at Miami odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-3, 1-1 ACC) and Miami Hurricanes (4-0, 0-0) clash Saturday evening at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens with kickoff at 8 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia Tech vs. Miami odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Miami was off in Week 5 after pounding Temple 41-7 and will look to keep the train rolling. The Hurricanes are averaging 43.8 points per game (8th in the nation). Miami’s defense ranks 11th allowing 12.5 PPG and will certainly be glad to get DB Kam Kinchens, their captain, back from injury.

Georgia Tech is coming off a brutal 38-27 loss to Bowling Green as 21-point favorites. The Yellow Jackets were outscored 31-13 in the final 3 quarters. Georgia Tech QB Haynes King, who transferred from Texas A&M, has completed 65% of his passes with 15 TDs and only 4 INTs.

Against the spread (ATS): Georgia Tech +20.5 (-115) | Miami -20.5 (-105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Georgia Tech at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 36, Georgia Tech 20

Moneyline

Miami’s offense has been superb so far this season to compliment a stellar defense. The U should exploit the Yellow Jackets defense, which ranks 108th in the country allowing 35 PPG. For Georgia Tech to have any shot in this game, they’ll have to pressure Miami QB Tyler Van Dyke all night. One of the lone bright spots so far in their defense has been the fact they’ve sacked the QB on 8.8% of drop backs, which does rank top 25 in the nation.

The U should remain consistent and exploit their dynamic playmakers and mismatches across the board. But Miami -1600 is not worth the return, perhaps it might be worth a look for your parlay.

Against the spread

While I expect Miami to roll, don’t expect this game to be as straightforward as it seems. Yellow Jackets coach Brent Key recently demoted his defensive coordinator and promoted Kevin Sherrer, who joined team in January. This new-look defense very well can cause confusion to Miami’s offensive line. Still, the U will exploit their players’ athletic advantage and burst out a handful of big plays. While we lean toward Miami -20.5 (-105), best to STAY AWAY.

Over/Under

Georgia Tech has obviously underperformed so far in 2023. However, one can see strides being made, as they only lost to 25th-ranked Louisville by 1 score. Georgia Tech has won 3 of their last 5 and you should expect some fight from them. However, Miami’s offense is simply too balanced and this game has the potential to be a shootout, particularly in the 2nd half.

Go with OVER 57.5 (-110).

Georgia Tech at Ole Miss odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia Tech at Ole Miss odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 19 Ole Miss Rebels (2-0) welcome the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-1) to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia Tech vs. Ole Miss odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Rebels beat Mercer 73-7 to open the season and then beat Tulane 37-20 in Week 2, respectively covering as a 35-point and 13.5-point favorite. Ole Miss is led by QB Jaxson Dart, who has 6 TDs and 1 INT in the 2 games with a 70% completion rate on 50 attempts. Ole Miss is No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Georgie Tech opened up the season with a neutral field battle against Louisville, losing 39-34 yet covering as a 7-point underdog. The Yellow Jackets then returned home and beat South Carolina State 48-13, failing to cover as a 45-point favorite. QB Haynes King has led the Yellow Jackets and has 7 passing TDs in 2 games. Georgia Tech is 2-0 O/U this season.

Georgia Tech at Ole Miss picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 38, Georgia Tech 28

Moneyline

PASS.

Move along; there’s no value here. Do not put Ole Miss in your moneyline parlay either.

Against the spread

BET GEORGIA TECH +17.5 (-110).

The Yellow Jackets haven’t look great at all points of the season, but they have looked good enough. King has just 1 INT on the season and threw for 3 TDs against Louisville. They stuck in that game despite being away from home. Georgia Tech has looked better than expected.

Ole Miss beat Tulane 37-20 and Mercer 73-7; however, Tulane had its backup QB in and the Rebels were down at the half. They used a 20-point 4th quarter to win by 17, but they ultimately struggled for most of that win.

Considering those trends against each team’s most competitive opponent, back GEORGIA TECH +17.5 (-110) as they should be able to keep things within this spread.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 63.5 (-115).

Georgia Tech ranks 14th in the nation in yards per play at 6.9, and Ole Miss sits 63rd in that category. Both teams like to push the tempo, one reason the Over between the 2 sides is a combined 3-1.

Ole Miss has scored at least 37 points in each game as well, so Dart has the offense rolling. Expect the game to be at a fast pace and points to be scored. Take OVER 63.5 (-115).

Louisville at Georgia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Louisville at Georgia Tech odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets welcome the Louisville Cardinals to Mercedes-Benz Stadium Friday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Louisville vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Yellow Jackets went 5-7 overall last season and 4-4 in conference play, but that marked an improvement on 3 consecutive seasons with 3 wins. Georgia Tech enters 2023 the interim title removed from head coach Brent Key who took over midseason for Geoff Collins last year. QB Zach Pyron is expected to start under center; the freshman played in 3 games last season, throwing 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

The Cardinals ended last season with an 8-5 record and went 4-4 in conference play. Former head coach Scott Satterfield left in the offseason for Cincinnati after 4 years with the program and is replaced by Jeff Brohm who joins off 6 years with Purdue.

A familiar face for Brohm will be under center to start the year as senior transfer QB Jack Plummer will lead the way. Plummer spent 3 years at Purdue before transferring to California. He started for California in 2022 and threw 21 touchdowns with 9 interceptions in 12 games. Five transfers will start on the offensive for a revamped Cardinals roster.

Over/Under (O/U): 49.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Louisville at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Louisville 28, Georgia Tech 17

Moneyline

PASS.

The value to back the Cardinals (-300) just isn’t there as you would need to risk 3 times your potential return. However, the Yellow Jackets (+240) and Pyron are more inexperienced and likely won’t pull off the upset.

Against the spread

BET LOUISVILLE -7.5 (-110).

The difference is the quarterbacks and experience. Louisville added a quarterback with 3 years of experience in the Big Ten and also experience as a starter while bringing in 4 other transfer starters on its offense. That’s an impressive haul of new weapons.

Pyron wasn’t as impressive during his few appearances last season. Georgia Tech was just 6-6 ATS last season while Louisville was 8-5 ATS. The Cardinals have an improved roster and should dominate this game.

Back LOUISVILLE -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Georgia Tech and Louisville both have new coaches and quarterbacks who will be starting in their programs consistently for the first time. That could result in sloppy offense.

Last season, the Yellow Jackets went 4-7-1 O/U while Louisville was 4-9 O/U.

Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-16, 3-13 ACC) and Pittsburgh Panthers (19-8, 12-4) meet Tuesday at Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia Tech vs. Pittsburgh game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Yellow Jackets stepped out of the conference to blast Florida Tech 79-56 Saturday. Georgia Tech has won 3 of the past 4 games overall and is 4-0 against the spread (ATS) across the previous 4 games with a spread.

Pittsburgh sits just one game behind 1st-place Virginia in the ACC standings. The Panthers were tripped up 79-72 at Virginia Tech Saturday, snapping a 6-game win streak and 5-game cover streak. The Over has cashed in 3 of their last 4 games overall.

These teams met in Atlanta on Jan. 14, and the Panthers belted the Yellow Jackets by a 71-60 score as 3-point favorites as the Under (143) connected.

Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh picks and predictions

Prediction

Pittsburgh 75, Georgia Tech 62

Moneyline

PASS.

Pittsburgh (-650) will cost you 6 1/2 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet a favorite so expensive. Even tossing Pitt into a multi-team parlay sucks all of the value out of your play.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

PITTSBURGH -10.5 (-115) is worth playing lightly but go a half-unit at best.

The Panthers picked up an 11-point victory in Atlanta in the first meeting against the Yellow Jackets, easily grabbing the cover.

While Georgia Tech has covered the past 2 as a double-digit favorite, the Yellow Jackets are 3-4 ATS in the past 7 as underdogs of 9 or more points while Pitt has covered 9 straight as a favorite of 9 or more points.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-110) is the lean, but again, go lightly.

The Under has cashed at a 5-1-1 clip in the past 7 lined games for Georgia Tech while cashing at a 10-1 clip in its last 11 games on the road. It is also 4-1 in the Yellow Jacket’s past 5 games against winning teams, and the Under cashed in the first meeting against Pitt, too.

For the Panthers, the Under is 7-3 in the past 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of .400 or worse.

Duke at Georgia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Duke at Georgia Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 25 Duke Blue Devils (14-5, 5-4 ACC) will try to remain in the top 25 against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-12, 1-9) in Atlanta Saturday at 3 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Duke vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

No. 25 Duke comes into this contest after losing 78-75 on the road against Virginia Tech Monday as 2.5-point underdogs. This game came at an additional cost as SF Dariq Whitehead was injured and will miss time. His absence will be felt on the scoreboard for Duke, who is already lacking in this department at only 72.2 points per game.

The Yellow Jackets average 68.9 points on offense this season. The defense of Duke, which ranks 49th in the nation, is allowing only 64.3 points. This does not bode well for a Georgia Tech team looking to gain its 2nd conference victory. With the talent gap in this game being so large, it will be difficult to make shots for Georgia Tech. GT has struggled in this area all season at 42.1%, which is only 307th in the country and another day of bad shooting can be in store once again in Atlanta.

Duke at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Duke 70, Georgia Tech 64

Moneyline

PASS.

Despite playing without Whitehead, Duke is the far superior team. I am still not willing to spend more than 5-to-1 to make a play on them though.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

GEORGIA TECH +8.5 (+100) is the spread wager to make.

Duke has been terrible in recent games against the spread. It is 0-6 in its last 6 road games and 0-6 overall.

Playing their first game without Whitehead could take some adjustment time for the Blue Devils, and it would be a risky play to count on them in this one.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-105) for the total here.

While the Yellow Jackets have gone Over in their last 4 games overall, Duke is coming in looking to just gain a victory here in its first game without Whitehead. It will look to clamp down on defense and should have no trouble doing this against an overmatched Georgia Tech. The 248th ranked Yellow Jackets offense will struggle against the Blue Devils defense, which is only allowing 64.2 points. This one will stay Under the 137.5 total.

Georgia Tech at Clemson picks and predictions

Prediction

Clemson 75, Georgia Tech 63

Moneyline

PASS.

Not worth pursuing anyway with Clemson so heavily favored.

Against the spread

CLEMSON -10.5 (-115)

The Tigers pounded Georgia Tech by 13 points on the road in the 1st meeting, and there’s no reason to believe the Yellow Jackets will be much better in the 2nd installment.

Georgia Tech is 1-4 ATS in the last 5 road games, while going 1-8 ATS in the previous 9 tries against teams with a winning overall mark.

Clemson is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 games overall, while cashing in 4 of the last 5 games at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 138.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit at best.

The Under is connected in 6 of the last 7 road games for the Yellow Jackets, while going 6-1 in the last 7 road games against a team with a winning home mark.

The Under is also 5-2 for Clemson in the last 7 games against teams with a losing overall record, too.

Miami at Georgia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Miami at Georgia Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 12 Miami Hurricanes (13-1, 4-0 ACC) visit Atlanta to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-6, 0-3) Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Miami vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Coach Jim Larranaga has Miami is 4-0 to start the ACC conference season and leading powerhouses Duke, Virginia and preseason No. 1 North Carolina is a lofty perch for the Hurricanes. G Isaiah Wong (17.4 PPG) and Jordan Miller (14.6 PPG) will need to continue their scoring ways through the season for Miami to cotend for the conference title.

Georgia Tech, which started the season 7-3 in the non-conference schedule, has faltered with an 0-3 start in the ACC with 3 games being double-digit losses. This game is not an easy way to attempt to get the ship righted.

Miami at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 78, Georgia Tech 74

Moneyline

PASS.

Miami has been playing great basketball and is still undefeated on the road (3-0) and it will go into Atlanta and win another game. This is an important game, not just for conference rankings, but also for recruiting. Atlanta is among the best recruiting cities in the nation and a win here could show some of the young talent what Miami has to offer on top of NIL.

Against the spread

BET GEORGIA TECH +6.5 (-110).

Miami is playing great. But Georgia Tech will be able to keep up with the Hurricanes in this game. I do not see a threat of the Yellow Jackets winning. But they will keep it close enough to make Miami nervous for a bit before winning and 6.5 seems a few points to high. If this number stays above 5.5, I like Geogia Tech to cover.

Over/Under

BET OVER 146.5 (-110).

In the last 4 games, the only time Miami has scored less then 76 points was against Virginia, a team ranked in the bottom 5 in pace of play. When Miami can set the pace, as it will Wednesday, the Hurricanes can score with anyone. Georgia Tech also can score, and this will be a game where both schools hit 70 and could both hit 80 so OVER 146.5 (-110) is the play.

Virginia at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Virginia 68, Georgia Tech 56

Moneyline

PASS.

Virginia is 1-1 on the road, and while justified as a (-500) favorite, there is no value in backing the Cavaliers. Similarly, the Yellow Jackets have yet to win in conference play and likely won’t pull off the upset.

Against the spread

BET VIRGINIA -9.5 (-110).

The Yellow Jackets, even at home, haven’t been great against ACC opponents. They failed to cover as 2-point home favorites against Clemson and also failed to cover as 13.5-point road underdogs at UNC, losing 75-59.

Virginia has one of the best defenses in the nation and should limit what Georgia Tech, which sits 244th in field goal percentage (43.6%), can do. Virginia has failed to cover 7 in a row, and the oddsmakers reflect that here. It is 2-3 ATS against Power 5 opponents though.

Given their defensive prowess and Georgia Tech’s struggles in conference play, back VIRGINIA -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 127.5 (-110).

Virginia allows 58.5 points per game, and Georgia Tech’s offensive efficiency doesn’t do it many favors. The Yellow Jackets are 4-7 O/U this season while Virginia is 5-6.

The Cavaliers have gone Under in 2 straight games and in 4 of their last 5. Georgia Tech has 4-6 O/U in its last 10 as well. Back the UNDER 127.5 (-110) given both sides’ season-long trends.
