Many thought that Georgia Tech would be a mess this year, running the option in the ACC. Now almost two seasons after it was implemented, we haven't heard a word about it. All the Yellow Jackets have done is go 10-1 this year and they have covered the spread at a 15-6 ATS mark in the last two seasons. They are still under the radar with seven covers in their last eight. So can it be effective against Georgia? Let's see, last year Georgia didn't allow more than 28 points to anyone. Then Tech comes in against one of the nation's best defenses and hangs 45 on them, rushing for over 400 yards. This year the Bulldogs’ defense is softer and they don't have Moreno and Stafford on offense. Now Tech is even better at running the option, posting 34 ppg in their last six in the ACC where it wasn't supposed to work. If they were in the SEC they wouldn't be able to pull it off right? Well, let's see. They have played four games in the two option years during the regular season against SEC teams, one being Georgia of course, and didn't score less than 38, averaging 44.3 ppg. I think we have enough evidence that Georgia Tech will score a lot, win, and cover this one.
