It's time for score predictions for Georgia Tech vs North Carolina!

Georgia Tech has a history of playing North Carolina tough in Atlanta and the Yellow Jackets currently have a two-game winning streak going over the Tar Heels. Both games came when North Carolina was nationally ranked and Georgia Tech was not. In this game, North Carolina comes into tonight ranked No. 17 in the country and the Yellow Jackets are not ranked.

For Georgia Tech to win tonight, they are going to have to find a way to force turnovers on defense and stop North Carolina's offense in the red zone. The Tar Heels have one of the best offenses in the ACC and it has only gotten better with the addition Tez Walker. Walker has caught four touchdowns in three games since being ruled eligible to play and he is one of the most explosive players on their team.

Offensively, Georgia Tech has to find a way to stop turning the ball over and find a way to run the ball consistently. North Carolina is 92nd in rushing success rate allowed, so there could be opportunities for the Yellow Jackets if they take care of the football.
