Georgia Tech vs. Wake Forest Pick
Spread Pick for Georgia Tech vs Wake Forest
- Georgia Tech -13.5 (4 units)
Wake Forest has no momentum with a loss to NC State and they have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games played. On the other side, Georgia Tech has covered the spread in three of its last four matches and they can nearly taste a top-12 team, which means a playoff spot. I don't trust Robby Ashford at the moment to have a solid performance, especially considering they lost to a subpar team in NC State. Georgia Tech has won the last four meetings between these two and covered in the last two meetings.
Over/Under pick for Georgia Tech vs Wake Forest
- Under 52 (4 units)
I don't have any confidence in Robby Ashford to compete well against a Georgia Tech offense. Wake Forest has hit the under in eight of their last ten games played and the under has been hit in four of their last five meetings against each other. The Georgia Tech defense has averaged less than 20 points against per game and Wake Forest isn't exactly known for their offensive prowess. I expect Georgia Tech to run out the clock as we get closer to the end of the game, as the Yellow Jackets should pull away with the lead.
