TAXSLAYER BOWL - Georgia Tech is well coached under Paul Johnson with a sizzling ground attack behind quarterback Justin Thomas (1,454 yards passing, 562 yards rushing). They led the ACC in rushing and rank #10 nationally at 257.4 yards per game on the ground. The Yellow Jackets are 22-8-1 ATS after allowing fewer than 170 yards passing in their previous game, plus 10-4 ATS after a spread cover. Georgia Tech started its season 3-3 before getting hot, winning five of its final six games while averaging 285.7 rushing yards during that stretch. They face a Kentucky team that is just happy to be here, squeezing out a Bowl to probably save the jobs of the coaching staff. Kentucky is terrible defensively, ranked in the bottom third nationally allowing 31.2 points per game. They come off the season-ending upset against rival Louisville and the Wildcats are 9-20 ATS when following a spread cover. Play Georgia Tech.
