It's not Orange but rather Tangerine, involving the Orange-men. We learn much about the Big East in this game. The conference was all ups and downs this season. The Orangemen are riding some serious momentum but I think it ends here against a team that has faced much stiffer competition. Some of their momentum is due to being on the right side of turnovers. Especially last game. I think their recent wins have kept this line lower than it probably should be. Syracuse is 3-10 ATS in road games after a game where they forced 4 or more turnovers since 1992 and 1-5 ATS after having won 3 out of their last 4 games over the last 3 seasons. Georgia Tech is 6-1 ATS after 2 consecutive games where they forced 1 or less turnovers over the last 3 seasons. Small lean to the Yellow Jackets here, who played in a much superior conference this season. I'd like the Jax more here if the close to their season weren't so suspect. One star on the Yellow Jackets minus the points.

1 unit on Georgia Tech -5 (-110) (risk 1 to return 1.91)
