Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports.
The Yellow Jackets defeated North Carolina 21-17 last week despite being 22-point road underdogs. Georgia Tech will likely rely on its rushing attack which is led by RB Hassan Hall and RB Dontae Smith.
The Bulldogs took down Kentucky 16-6 last week as they fell short of covering as 22.5-point favorites on the road. Georgia remains the lone unbeaten team in the SEC and is still the No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Georgia Tech at Georgia picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 45, Georgia Tech 14
Moneyline
The moneyline for this game isn’t available, but PASS on taking it straight up even if you have the opportunity. Despite that Georgia should cruise to a victory at home, it won’t be worth taking the moneyline in this game due to the minimal return you’ll receive.
Against the spread
Winning by 35 or more points isn’t an easy task for any program, so I’ll take GEORGIA TECH +35.5 (-111). The Bulldogs have covered the spread in only 1 of the 3 games where they’ve been favored by 35-plus points this season.
The road team is 17-3-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings between Georgia Tech and Georgia and the Yellow Jackets are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road meetings against the Bulldogs.
Over/Under
OVER 49 (-108) is an intriguing wager as Georgia could score the majority of the points itself. The Bulldogs could take multiple approaches to this game as they could just want to win and get out, or they could look to secure a convincing victory ahead of the SEC Championship.
The Over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 games for the Bulldogs when they’ve faced a team with a losing record.
