Georgia Tech Opens As A Three-Point Favorite Over Miami

Georgia Tech will be a small favorite in its last home game on Saturday against the Miami Hurricanes

Georgia Tech will be back in Atlanta for its final home game of the season this upcoming Saturday and they will be welcoming a struggling Miami team to Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday. 

For only the second time this season, the Yellow Jackets will be a favorite over an FBS team. Georgia Tech has opened as a three-point favorite against the Hurricanes according to Circa Sports. Georgia Tech was a three-point favorite over Virginia earlier this year

Georgia Tech just secured its fourth win of the season on Saturday by going on the road and beating Virginia Tech 28-27. It was a good performance in freshman quarterback Zach Pyron's first start as a Yellow Jacket and the defense bounced back and forced four turnovers against the Hokies. This was a welcome sight to see after giving up over 600 yards to Florida State the year before. 

That is one thing that both Georgia Tech and Miami have in common: They have both been blown out by the Seminoles this year. Last night, Florida State put a beating on Miami, winning 45-3 and leading 31-3 at halftime. This Miami team has a myriad of injuries coming into the game against Georgia Tech, including quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.

Miami was the preseason favorite in the ACC Coastal Division coming into the year and much was expected under first-year head coach Mario Cristobal. 

Miami won last year's matchup 33-30 to even up the all-time series at 13-13. 

The game on Saturday at Bobby Dodd will kick off at 3:30.
