Kickoff is less than an hour away and Georgia Tech and North Carolina are set to face off in Atlanta.

Earlier this week, North Carolina opened as a near-two-touchdown favorite and nothing before kickoff has changed that. The Tar Heels remain a 12.5-point favorite over at SI SportsBook as kickoff nears.

Georgia Tech is looking to knock off a nationally-ranked North Carolina squad for the third straight season. Tech defeated No. 21/20 UNC, 45-22, in 2021 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and topped the No. 13/11-ranked Tar Heels, 21-17, last season in Chapel Hill, N.C.

After dropping a 38-23 decision to Boston College last Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field, Georgia Tech is looking to continue its season-long pattern of alternating losses and wins. Tech also alternated wins and losses over the final four games of last season, meaning it has not had the same result in consecutive games since it lost back-to-back contests to Virginia and Florida State on Oct. 20 and 29 of last season.
