Pittsburgh is currently sitting third in the ACC standings with a 7–3 overall record and a 5–1 conference record. A win against a tough Georgia Tech team would push them closer to the top and help them separate from the rest of the pack.
They’ll need their starting QB, Mason Heintschel, to step up a bit more, especially after last game where he didn’t throw a single touchdown pass and threw one interception. Jakyrian Turner, their running back, will also need to provide a spark, as he has only 414 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns so far. These two must be a strong offensive force if Pitt hopes to escape Georgia with a win.
Georgia Tech enters the game ranked #16 in the nation and looking to cement itself near the top of the ACC standings. The Yellow Jackets are slight favorites at -2.5, meaning they’ll need all the help they can get from the home crowd. They are coming off a tight matchup against Boston College, edging them out by just two points.
Their star QB, Haynes King, is a force on offense, leading the team in both passing and rushing. He has 10 passing touchdowns, 2,259 yards, and only 2 interceptions. On the ground, he has carried the ball 148 times for an impressive 14 rushing touchdowns. His performance will likely determine the outcome this weekend.
The home team, Georgia Tech, is narrowly favored in this game with a -2.5 spread. The over/under is 62.5, and the moneyline sits at -130 for GT and +110 for Pittsburgh. Expect a high-scoring matchup, as we anticipate far more offensive presence than defensive resistance.
We're sticking with our gut, and our gut says Georgia Tech will cover the -2.5 spread on Saturday. We also expect a big scoreline, so keep a close eye on that over 62.5.
